Day 3,375—Day Off—

I have decided to take it easy today. I was listening to Jack Johnson this morning with my daughter, thinking about being a senior in high school and hearing Brushfire Fairytales for the first time. I played that album so many times, even convincing my grandmother to listen to one of the tracks. 

        Talking to my wife about the race yesterday made me wonder if my issue in the last two races was mental, not physical. My heart rate didn’t go above 150 on Saturday. I feel energized thinking about Shawnee Hill. I need to plan from aid station to aid station for this race. 

        I want to get more footage of the race this time too, but it is so annoying to carry it. I wish I could hire a camera crew, so I could just focus on racing but what would be the challenge to that? 

        I am going to see the Indian Jones movie today. I kind of doubt it is good, but I want to give it a chance, and I don’t like Tom Cruise as a person as much as I enjoy the Mission Impossible movies. I suppose in some ways he is a victim of Scientology, but he has also benefited from the church's oppression, which makes it hard to be okay with supporting him knowing he is giving so much of his money to an organization that knowingly hurts other people.
