meant to post something yesterday , which ended 14 minutes ago here, but have been busy trying to solve little banking crises and airline ticket crunches. hard to live in 2 countries at once and having to deal with things online when you cannot talk to real live people and websites don't give options that you need-like what to do when your mailing address and billing address are in two different countries and the credit card web site is down for repairs. just an example.
this followed an 11 mile day on the roads; a sluggish first hour and then a better last hour. morning heart rate was 46 today. a nice day about 48 degrees when i ran-this after a power outage left me thinking i was up early enough at 5:15 am to read a little first and then finding out it was really 7:15-though not until about 9am; all in all got out and did it, before cleaning up and going to hit some balls at the range. left arm is still bad so i stayed within just the wedges and hoped for some recovery.
striders today felt better and i would like to think i am ready to move to the track and do some real work and find out where i am and how to get to where i want to go. can i find a way to get to the track in the rain and cold without a car? will see.
can you hear simon and garfunkle singing the boxer in the background? i remember seeing them in nyc central park way back in another lifetime?
about to be 61 this week. will be curious to see how the future plays out as i constantly change my own plans for it. am anxious to get back home and get started. 189 days to go-one less than i thought yesterday as the UK govt decided gail must leave a day early so as not to violate her visa. how much sense does that make-but i would go a month early if i could.
i am pushing now to catch up on paperwork and get organized for what's ahead. and to do taxes- will be fun trying to do that from here.
one of my golf friends here and his wife had twin boys last night. good for him and her. the world can use more good people.
did make plans to fly back here from cancer checkup visit with beth and that will be fun. she will enjoy running along ghe thames and on the canal. will be so much different than what she is used to, but in a good way also. now all she needs to do is slow down for me. i can stay out there a long time if i can go slow enough.
for the record, today i ran my 77, 581 recorded mile. about 3 times around the world. need to live awhile to make it 4 times around. ordered new shoes though so will try to keep going. asics 2130's cost about $165 here in usa money. surreal .
more later.
i am off now to finish my bookclub book. no need for sleep tonight huh?
