paid the piper today for yesterday as i thought i might. legs weren't all that tired but were a bit tight and gail and i did her usual 4 mile loop and rather than stay out and keep going i stopped also. no sense risking injury. i still had lots of walking ahead today anyway.
was nice enough out-somewhat foggy and a little cold but it warmed up, we ran up and over port meadow and past the workers working on the trail and cutting down trees and making a muddy mess, which i know will be nicer eventually if you like pristine. hope they leave some of it as natural as it has been for the last zillion years.
water was pretty clear today. the legs didn't have any giddy-up in them but they got around the loop and down the thames path and home. not much to say. nothing really hurt from yesterday's workout and if they are better tomorrow i will do some hill repeats and if they are not ready will go slow and easy and put the hills off until friday. weather channel is calling for rain for the next four days, but that basically means that sometime during each day it will rain.
then off to the public market for lots of stuff we needed. always a fun little outing and with an extra trip to the bank and also to check out a brand new burrito place that just opened i got another 3-4 miles of walking in. sometimes it is about the calories- glad i don't live in france where they are cracking down on thin models or something related to that. right---
then home and read some more of the book club book. am curious about the murder mystery part of the book but in general just want this book over. reminds me that my friend lorraine gave gail and i another book to read and i will drop off the swap book for her on her boat.
and finally to the driving range to follow up on yesterday's decent day. was up and down with a somewhat tighter back than i wanted. this doesn't allow me to make a full turn and leads to adjustments- a pro might call them manipulations- but i tried to work on stuff and though the results were not always good i still feel like i am making some progress.
then spent some time watching the pro practice for next week's big tournament. he said he shot 75 yesterday missing greens to the left. even i could see why pretty quickly and he knows i know his swing and trusts me now to say something. nice thing is he can change stuff in a hurry and boom- high and straight again mostly. have a feeling it is something he will have to stay on top of as we all have tendencies i guess.
as much as i have learned about the golf swing since i have been here i still stink. knowing and doing are two different things. and on not good days when it is cold and dark and windy and you are hitting low and thin, it can be hard to force yourself to stay out there and keep hitting badly waiting for lightening to strike. especially when i know i won't play again for months. not meaning to whine he whines anyway.
enjoy the debates. won't miss that for sure. we need to get this process over with so we can start attacking the lies of mc cain. hard to believe how screwed up everything is. what will anyone do about immigration, are thy still building the wall, how does puerto rico get more delegates than 26 states and then not be allowed to vote in the general election, who will fix social security, what will happen to medicare, what about all of the children left behind by no child left behind, are gays really more of a threat than terrorists, how will the economy change even if gas drops back down to $3.35 and stays there(it never comes back down all of the way), who will figure out the easy solution to the housing crisis/problem, but i am ranting now.... sorry
off i go- not making sense anymore and must be tired. would have made more sense to hit the delete key for this one.
