where did that nice easy day to day schedule go? life has been pretty hectic since we have been home and it will only get more so in the weeks ahead. yesterday i actually ended up working at the gold course from 7ish until just past 1pm.that went as ok as it could given the heat and the crowds and just not having done it in almost a year. had hoped to play afterwards, but the course was too crowded so i opted to just practice some rather than go home and work on the house some more.
this proved to be a good decision as each day i practice i get a little closer to being me again, and the house turned into a disaster area later anyway and so i didn't get to practice today. seems the heater and a/c system just about died and the hose sprung a major leak under the house behind the furnace room. this led to a subsequent flood throughout the lower level and the complete loss of the family room. and a day of contractors in the house trying to assess the damage and cost of repair. for $8k the system and pipes will be replaced this thursday, losing another golf outing also. the rest of it will be determined on friday or saturday but we're looking at really big bucks to take down all of the walls and the ceiling and replacing the rugs and flooring. should be interesting and the future plans of redoing the laundry/mud room are gone for awhile. will see how it all works out.
and though i had to skip the run yesterday to work and the day off probably didn't hurt, i did run today. we went up to the track at 6:40 am and i ran a 5k workout in 26:45 all by myself on the track in hot and humid conditions. once again with very little warmup i started and ran each mile faster than the one before and though it wasn't as fast as the last one, it was much hotter and at least i ran pretty steady and each lap of the 3rd mile was faster than the preceding one. heart rate at the end was 163- just about 8%. btw, the morning heart rate was 45.
following the 5k and a little recovery i ran 16 x 100 under 7 minute pace and that was ok. with some cooldown was able to get 8 miles of effort in before heading home to meet all of the people coming to give estimate and answers.
spent the rest of the day running errands and working on the house and dealing with "mold". was it just last week we were in oxford?
anyway- tomorrow i take my car in to get a new windshield and gail has her car towed to the dealer to have it worked on. then we will need emissions inspections and regular maintenance.
took a little break and read for awhile tonight just to relax some. can still get almost 6 hours of sleep if i head off right now so away i go. will catch up eventually but i think it will take 4 months. somehow i need to settle myself down into a little better routine, but it will take some time. haven't signed up for my classes yet, but have scheduled the drs appts and now need to get to the stores and get the furniture we still need. will throw out even more over the weekend.
enough blah blah for now. will get it in gear. at least i manage to get some running in though nothing long. will try and squeeze in something very early in the morning and go longer later. sometime real soon i will work out the schedule for the next three months to include the races i have entered.
am really tired of the the election garbage for sure. change my rear end. these guys are like the rest of them, though mc cain will still be a disaster for the world.
later.......
