 2025 Mileage: 145.9

I wasn't able to get to Planet Fitness today until rather late in the day, and accordingly I trimmed back my ride to only a single hour, while listening to piano concertos by Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev (1891-1953), including my favorite, his #1 in D-flat major, a scintillating and brilliant work with which I became acquainted when a classmate of mine at the Interlochen Arts Academy won the concerto competition with it. I regret that I never worked on it back when it was still within my range technically, as it is clearly NOT now.

This gave me a ride of 12.3 virtual miles today, in 1:00.
