Plan B and Other Stuff

Having twice tried to run and again, each time followed by limping around the next day or longer if a tender left foot, I think it's time to take a break and give my foot a couple of months rest. That probably means no fall marathon. I can't come back in October and try to get ready in six weeks. That's just asking for trouble.

I still plan to map every street in Arlington this year, but I'm going to do the rest on my bike. Will still use the GPS and post the updated maps, but imagine I get a lot more ground covered each week.

By the way, I omitted the YTD thru July map in my last post. Here it is:

July

Oh, and one final unrelated note on a personal/political level: The latest comments by Rep. Todd Akin just reinforces why I can't get behind most GOP candidates. They may talk a good game about the importance of fiscal responsibility, but once in office they seem to want to apply ignorant views on abortions and gay marriage. Enough already.
