another quick blog

already late so this will be quick; eventually i will settle down into a better routine, but am a captive audience to the house repair right now;

did get up and out to run at just past 6:30; was already humid and very warm- my morning pulse had been a high 47 and the legs were a bit tight but i warmed up a little more than usual; i need to do a standard warm up i know but i just ease into it so i can stretch better along the way; started with 8x 100 doing each one a little faster and jogging the 100 recovery; at least the sun was not up yet; then i ran a mixture of 100, 200 and 400's trying to use the right leg a little more than lately and getting into my old breathing pattern of breathe 234;; that went well; at 7:20 pace my pulse was where it should have been and even at the little bit of 6:40 pace i ran it was still pretty good. stretched and warmed down some; went through 3+ bottle of water doing this workout of about 3 miles of some type of speedwork-plenty warm, though not as bad as it could have been; still breathing was not as easy as it usually is.

and then home and the wall guys - mudding today i believe they call it; i worked on the laundry room and my office and the garden -planting, pruning and weeding and watering; then hit about 100 chips and pitches and putted some; then back to clearing out stuff--

eventually the guys were done for today; the phone repair guy never did show up so we are still without phone service; a quick light dinner and off to the range to hit some balls; did some long chipping and hit about 100 balls after some longer putting; was 93 when i went to the range; and another day done; read the paper a bit and cleaned up some of the downstairs-

will do it all again tomorrow- mudding, sanding and priming to come-
short and sweet tonight; a light run in the morning i hope- gail is off to school so it is me to be home all day; have lots i want to get done;

btw; i used my new 64 degree cg-12 wedge tonight and it is sweet-
back tomorrow; missed the convention tonight; the mccain signs are going up and gail wants to go find a obama sign to make sure people know they live in a diverse neighborhood; no matter how bad i think a mc cain presidency will be we have survived nixon and ford and both bushes; we are totally broke and hated by the world and china owns us and we will be even worse off when the boomers collapse social security and medicare, and the glaciers will melt but we may survive it all somehow as long as we can print money; hope i live long enough to see how it plays out as it can be very discouraging if you think about it at all; are we as a country really dumb enough to want a third bush term? i believe we are and that is scary enough-

hope gordon found some decent places to live in scotland
