After a couple days off from running during RAGBRAI, I went for a jog today.  My legs and body were well ready for a record.  And I made it!  Shattered the record by 1.5 seconds. 
Yeah, that doesn’t seem like much, but it’s huge when you are at the top of your game.

I thought about this palindromic-ness of my record.  A palindrome is the same written forward or backward. They are like the word civic, or deified or the names Anna and Hannah.  My time of 56.65 is a palindrome.  Other possibily palindromic times might be: 55.55 (not likely, although only 1.10 seconds faster, I think I was running at my absolute fastest when I achieved the 56.65); others could me 57.75, or 58.85, or 59.95, or even 1:00.01, or 1:01.01, or 1:02.01, or 1:03.01, or 1:04.01 or 1:05.01.  Hmmmm...when I stated to think about oher palindromic results, I didn't think there were so many.
