My legs were deadened more than expected from nine holes walked at Rebsamen Park Golf Course, a half-round completed about 90 minutes before I began my slow tour of the Gimblett Loop. But they revived. I walked two minutes to start each half mile and finished in 56:21, with splits of 11:24, 11:49, 11:09, 11:09, and 10:50. I almost quit after a mile, but didn't want to write the word "aborted" in the title. Plus, I thought I might start to feel better, and did; in fact, felt great after ascending the 47th Street hill, or for the final three and a quarter miles.
I played with an approximately 55-year-old dad and his North Little Rock High-junior son, named Greg and David, respectively, and had a hoot at Rebsamen. We all sucked. I scored a 54, with 2 bogies, 5 doubles, and 2 triples.
Two NLR cops pulled me over on F Street. I thought they were going to bust me for running on the road and not the sidewalk, but instead said there have been a lot of burglaries in Park Hill and Levy and to please call 911 if I saw any "suspicious behavior."
