5 am - The second day of the MS-150 bike tour is canceled. In Tunica, MS, where we stay overnight on the tour, it is raining and very windy. Walking from my room to breakfast and back, it is hard to stand up in the wind, let alone stay on a bike. For everyone's safety, it is canceled. Mike and his wife gave me and my bike a ride back to Graceland, which was really nice, and I was home by 8 am. It is still raining and windy, and the sky has some dark, fast-moving clouds. 3 pm - went for a run, thinking maybe I could do a long run, but my legs were sluggish and I was still tired from yesterday, so only did 5.1 but tried a new route. They've extended the sidewalk to reach an exclusive neighborhood way down Shelton Rd. east of the landfill. So I followed it - the neighborhood is kind of hidden in the woods as you curve around and the road becomes Bray Station. There's a sign one one side that says it is private property and that jogging and lake rights belong only to the residents. Oh well- no jogging on those streets. I can run on the sidewalk that goes around the outside.
