dead legs and short blog day

today was one of those days that once you were out running and found out you had absolutely no legs to run on you wish you had stayed in bed. good heart rate of 45 and the weather was ok, though pretty windy. just no legs. i tried every little trick i have learned over time, but nothing worked. by that time i was more than two miles away and having to get back i struggled in for 5 miles. in a marathon this is the point that they call -the wall falling down on you-.

actually did see a stone wall which had fallen down in the last two days and is on the way to st margaret's church. didn't see any runners for the longest time and maybe everyone was waiting for the wind to die down. and glad that the run was over and could forget it.

the rest of the day was pretty forgetful also as i ran chores in the morning after doing laundry and then went to work on my golf swing. working on a new swing and grip and it is going so-so. anyway, the dead legs didn't help.

while i type this i am listening to match play on the pga radio station which is nice since we don't get it on tv. lots of tv cannot be sent to the uk from the usa. tiger and badds all squared. badds is putting great but they driving really so so and all over the place. they will battle for awhile and in the end the best putter today will win. tiger now one up.

have to do some banking and bill stuff. did actually get some mail today and it is nice to know it is not all lost.

will be home two weeks from now. need to change scenery for sure as i am one step away from being depressed and bored and cannot find the mental energy to do stuff i know i need to do. for someone who is never depressed or bored it is not a good feeling. tired of dealing with the infection in my hand and now have this nice screw hole i put there two days ago. the hand is still swollen and varies between pain and itch. weird.

enough of this. am consoled to obama now and just want him to beat mc cain and i will worry about the rest later. i can still remember carter putting all of his campaign workers in schedule c jobs(political appointees) and then the career people just did them in. we uysed to call it the gs-14 room. but it was when carter's people shut off our hot water in an energy saving move that i knew his was (as we were also) a doomed presidency. seemed like a great guy too.

maybe hillary and huckabee can drop out at the same time. was reading that the huckster is hoping for a brokered convention. is he a dreamer? hillary must want the super delegates to give it to her also if neither has the delegates. the democrats are too cowardly to do that- they will vote what they think the media wants them to vote. there are only a zillion issues to deal with after "w" goes back to his ranch and does what he is really qualified to do- clear brush. regardless of who mis president not much can get done unless you can control congress. someone needs 65% so when they lose a few people they can still get a vote through.

and enough from me. hope for more energy tomorrow.
