run, shop and golf

up a little later than normal and out the door into the humidity. had almost decided not to run, but wanted to go out and figured i could turn it into a walk if need be. but i was running ok actually and joined up with lisa from conover st who was training to run the MCM with her sister as her sister's first marathon and celebration of her 40th birthday. that kept me going for awhile and then i turned back to the trail as she went home and i ran some hilly sections and bumped into a guy also training for the MCM and running his first 17 mile. we ran a couple of miles together and by now i had almost 8 miles in and headed home myself as i could feel the best part of this run was now behind me and yesterday's 11 mile effort was starting to weigh me down. quit before it did me in.

then home to do some more clean out work and then head off to the tile/carpet store to pick out tile and talk to the scheduler about changing the schedule for the next two weeks of work. will see how that goes once the new thoughts get to the work crews, but i need some time to get stuff done and have a little life.

a quick trip to pick out some bathroom appliances and buy a few on sale plants and then off to search for a new sofa as the mold did the other one in. that sofa had survived several moves(once in a hurricane) and a tornado and was done in by a little flooding and mold, but i had it for a pretty long time -almost 20 years. certainly got my money's worth. hope we found a new one and will know more once the guy who cuts them up and puts them back together tells us whether he can do it again with this pick. nice to live in an old house with small doors and hallways.

then home for some dinner and a quick trip to the driving range to hit some putts and chips and a bucket of balls. went ok mostly and it is starting to come back to me a bit.

and another day done after some laundry. not exciting, but got a few things done and had a nice little run and hit some balls. more of the same tomorrow--; need 4 miles for 50 this week.
