I can just imagine the herd of TSA'ers standing around looking at that instrument when he goes thru the airport.

Africurious? Become an Africionado. (114 WGOM bucks for whomever can name the instrument on the left. +2 if you have to look it up).

Half Marathon – we can do this
Did 10 miles 3 weeks ago, and a lot of trail-running since, I'm thinking I can pull this off. OK if wrong, whatever.
Weather in H-istan should be good. I'm ready.
Trails and such
I decided I'm going to hike/bike/run across Connecticut - and started this last weekend.
The New England Scenic Trail goes from the MA border down to the Long Island Sound in Guilford.
On Saturday did the Beseck Mountain segment (hiking boots/trekking sticks, etc.) and on Sunday did Bluff Head by Guilford. All have similar characteristics from north to south (volcanic eruption with westward facing basalt cliffs).
This evening did a trail run from Albany Ave (Reservoir 6 in West Hartford) to Heublein Tower on the Metacomet Trail. Tough when it starts to get dark around 6ish. Several trips but no problems.
Tough running on rocks/boulders/roots/etc. but I like the variety compared to running on asphalt.
Bum wheel
I ran a trail run on Thursday night at Penwood State Forest with some friends - good temps, great run. At one point, I tripped on a root and started to fall, but recovered. Didn't notice anything weird that night.
All day Friday I felt sore, and it hurt to stand up. This morning, we were to do a triathlon at Lake Waramaug (Hopkins) and I could barely stand from a sitting position without wincing pain.
NBBW did well but I sat it out, and read Pynchon in a camp chair along the route. Not sure what the injury is but I'm thinking something in the hamstring cluster.
What is the Nation doing for fitness besides watching the Tour de France trying to run over cows?
