Orange Street Loop

I walked and jogged about a quarter mile for a warmup, stretched a bit, and then ran the Orange Street Loop, alternating five minutes hard with three minutes easy, in 25:35, with splits of 8:44, 8:30, and 8:21. My legs were a little dead from the start, so this was hard work.

Sunday I ran, jogged, and walked about five miles on Ron and Elaine Gimblet's Hash run in Burns Park, after watching the NFL, and Na Yeon Choi blow a seven-stroke lead but birdie No. 18 at Torrey Pines to win her first LPGA title. What should I send a woman, who just won $250,000, for her 22nd birthday? I walked the Levy Loop yesterday afternoon after playing the short course and the long course at First Tee in a scramble with Jeff and Jill Krupsaw and Jeff Slatton. We finished last by two strokes in the morning flight of 18 teams. I didn't see the final results but would bet we finished 36th. And the thing is, we really didn't play that badly. From the back tees, except Jill, who played the reds, we were two-under on the the short course and one-over on the long. I walked for 32 minutes on a meandering Levy course this morning.
