Got up early and went for a hike with my pack on. I had adjusted the shoulder straps the previous evening, and I cinched the hip belt a little tighter this time. Walked over to the entrance to the trails off of Duenda Rd and did the out and back hike to the overlook. It took a little over an hour, I used the longer way to get there on the way out and the shorter way on the return. Then I headed over to the WWC for a swim when it opened. Pool wasn't as crowded, which was nice. I focused throughout on taking longer strokes, but they were also slower, so I wasn't as fast. It was still a workout, at times I was breathing heavily. Finished 2050 yds, standard protocol, in under 42 minutes. The rest of the day was quiet. I returned the SRAM cassette, may buy one with a lower gearing. I also figured out how to get the 1099 form from Merrill Lynch that Ann wanted for our taxes. SDG&E started the work to replace and reposition our gas meter. I'm hoping that the repairs don't mess up the paver sidewalk nearby. Ann was feeling a little better but still sick. Watched a little TV.
A short health note. In the afternoon, I started feeling off, my stomach was queasy and I seemed to be a little feverish. I thought it was the onset of symptoms from whatever Ann had that I also got. I rested for a while and later on went down to dinner and felt much better as I was eating as well as right afterward. Wasn't sure if I would feel worse in the night, but I didn't. I slept pretty well and woke up the next morning feeling fine. An occasional cough or sneeze, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
I finished Amor Towles' The Lincoln Highway. It was a busy tale, lots of continuous action, a little too frantic and unbelievable in its pacing and storyline. The story also didn't have so much to do with actually traveling the Lincoln Highway. I've been reading, at the same time, Vaclav Smil's How the World Really Works. This book is a general more popular summary of much of his previous scholarly books about things like the relationship between cultural development and energy usage/availability.
