        All week long, I was amazed at how good I felt. My legs were a little sluggish when running, but there was no pain or soreness. What a difference it makes to run on trails as opposed to the road!

        We joined the usual Saturday morning crew this weekend for a 50-mile ride on the tandem. It w
