this has to be quicker than i would like, but my pc broke down again today and put me behind the 8-ball for time. somehow we figured out how to get it to work again. not sure i would ever buy a pc with vista in it again until they figure out how to make it work rather than tell you how to fix the common problem that "everyone" also has.
in a nutshell i ran about 10 miles this morning. did the usual up and down the river thing and then a big loop around the park, including a path i had not run on before through a large horse field and that was nice and soft running. a very nice day and it warmed up quickly. ran into several people i knew and shared a moment and even ran with some locals from north oxford for a bit. i was going a little faster today than usual so i was actually able to keep up with someone.
then i stopped and ran 15 x 100 and ran them quickly as a fast set rather than taking it easy. went ok. the usual right pf problem that i had started to feel at 3+ miles never got worse and i managed to get the 15 in ok. then a slow cool down.
later in the morning i took the bus with gail as she headed off to school and i got off and walked to christ church to watch the summer 8's races. that was ok. did get to see some racing but was hard to see it all as they went down the river and i was near the finish line so i got to see the last several hundred yards. still, a nice experience and i met some parents who had kids racing. the teams were up for it and several raced in some form of costumes- like pirates or vikings.
then this afternoon i went to the range and practiced. went ok and i will keep working on it. a true work in progress and i wish i had understood more earlier. also got to help the pro a bit and that is always fun. and then home to diner and bill paying and other house stuff. and fixing the computer. just took too much time and still have much to do and most of it will wait until tomorrow, which is only a few minutes away.
not sure anyone is still reading these diary type blogs, but they have been a help to me. was nice listening to old gordon lightfoot songs while i was on the computer. one of his videos featured shania twain and it reminded me that her husband just left her. hard to imagine who you would leave her for. wish her well. and also to ted kennedy who is facing some tough times ahead.
happy birthday to joyce randolph tomorrow! will have a piece of cake in celebration here in the UK. stay well everyone.
70 days to go!
