Sun 8/30 - double, 65 minutes total plus 10 minutes elliptigo and 30 minutes in Walden

AM - 10 minutes elliptigo before I blew the rear tire, again, and then a miserable jog back home in worn out shoes. Mechanic at the bike shop who mounted the new tube inflated the thing to rock-hard pressure which I thought odd but figured he knew what he was doing. Got through yesterday's ride without any mishaps but it was a time bomb all the while. On top of that, realized within a few minutes of leaving that riding the elliptigo aggravates the toe due to the front of my foot pushing forward into the front edge of the pedal. This fact is if anything more of a conundrum than the constant tube replacements.

PM - 55 minutes plus 30 minutes in Walden. Moving well from the get-go, taking out my frustrations from the morning. Vow not to run during the weekend went by the boards although the toe felt much better running than it did on the elliptigo this morning. Very hot day and sticky as well, pond as ever was the best thing for it.
