Levy Trail Loop/War Memorial Golf Course/Maple Street Loop

I walked the Levy Trail Loop this morning, after about twenty minutes of tough yard work, in 32:18. Let's see how these efforts will affect my round of golf, set to begin with John Czarnecki and perhaps Tim Biggs and Gil in about half an hour.
John Czarnecki and I golfed this morning with Steve Grace at War Memorial Golf Course. Some of my longtime readers might remember Steve from a group I played with years ago at First Tee that included a Chinese guy named Bill, a South Korean whose name I can't recall (who taught me nice things to say to Korean golfers at the 2011 U.S. Women's Open), and a dentist named Steve Beatstra. I scored a 92, with nines of 47 and 45. John scored 96 and Steve 78. I used 34 putts but never three-putted. I had 1 birdie, 2 pars, 4 bogies, 9 doubles, 1 triple, and 1 quadruple.
Tonight I alternated one-minute jogs with one-minute walks and two-minute walks to complete the Maple Street Loop in 28:55, with splits of 14:34 and 14:21. I have new $19.95 shoes, the BCG Surge, which might replace the Evades when the seven or eight pairs I have left wear out. These are slightly mushier and have a bit of a disco look to them, but they felt fine. I can imagine getting used to them. In fact, they felt better as I went this evening. I am not, however, yet ready to order ten pairs.
