~5.1 mi @ ~11.5 min/mi

"Northeast Passage - found!" Roadkill runs on Saturday afternoon through heavy rains to pick up a book on reserve at the Silver Spring library. Return ramble (book safely bagged against the elements) rediscovers the long-lost Alton Parkway path that he and Barry failed to find 4 weeks ago.

"That's an ugly bump!" The top of the old right foot suddenly starts to hurt badly at mile ~3.5, then recovers after a short walk. Ganglion cyst? Stress fracture? Or more likely, overactive imagination plus hypochondria? Today's soggy solo trek is overdue atonement for past and future dietary sins. More mileage (and fewer desserts), STAT!
