TIME: 30 min.
DISTANCE 3.4 mi.
TOTAL DISTANCE: 74.4 mi.
OTHER EXERCISE: 10 pushups, yesterday morning and this morning; walked to pharmacy yesterday
NOTES: Okay, I can get over 7 mph without shin-splints, if I remember to let my arms and shoulders do most of the work. Am thinking about a metronome, since I don't have a coxswain.
SHIRE-RECKONING: We are riding from Crickhollow to the Old Forest.

I realized that one (of the many) reasons I had been so bad about exercising the past few weeks is that I was avoiding Rabkin's lecture on Heinlein. So today, instead of Rabkin, I listened to the first thirty minutes of Poul Ruders' opera, Tjenerindens Fortælling (The Handmaid's Tale). Which is interesting.

So, how happy are you that you were able to use the word "coxswain" today? :)

I keep wondering if I should try to read more Heinlein. Other than Stranger in a Strange Land, I've avoided most of his work.

I did not know there was an opera of Handmaid's Tale. And in Danish no less! (I'm a native speaker of Danish). Thanks!
