father's day post

short and sweet - or at least short-
up and out and ran 8 miles. not as hot and humid as yesterday, but still not great- went north and south today so as not to get too far away from home- also carried water again. morning heart rate was 49, a little better but not good at all. must be the humidity but my heart rate has been high ever since i have been back and it is also hard to keep it down while i am running. decent run though and i was a little stronger after i got the first mile stiffness out of the way. weight is down a couple of pounds since i have been back despite all the eating and rinking i am doing, but i have been working really hard on the house and have been very active -

spent several hours after the run working on the house and yard, cutting up wet rugs and mowing the lawn and replanting things and weeding some. also cleaning out stuff and throwing things away.

practiced some in the back after i finished some of the work out back and then went to dinner with beth and shawn. good food and company and was nice to not eat alone. then stopped at the range on the way home as i had to pass it anyway and hit a small bucket of balls doing drills. still cannot swing the golf club but am trying.

then home to work on the flooded area again. and that is where i am off to. running out of time and so much won't get done, but only 45 days left before we are home semi-permanently. seems funny but we have trips to ireland and france right after we get home.

us open playoff tomorrow and won't get to see much of that most likely- hope it goes down to a birdie on 18.
