When the going gets tough, Matt gets napping

I got up this morning, a vacation day, had a good breakfast and decided to go for a ride on my trike.

I had wanted to anyway and then I talked to my rock-climbing friend yesterday and she decided we should do the Army 10-miler next October. I told her I was dubious about my ability to go 10 miles, ride up hills or maintain the 4 mph pace that the organizers require. Don't worry, she said, you have a year to train plus I'll push if you need it; we'll be a team. How could I say no to that? And another friend had just posted a cool story about running. And how cool would it be to say I did a 10-miler?

I sat down to change, lost my balance and slammed into a super pole, sending my glases flying. I was OK, but my glasses bent and iIt was like all the energy I had minutes earlier jut slipped away.

I went to get my glasses tightened, played with Claren, read and took a nap.
