june 29th

am heart rate was 48 which was high but lately has been somewhat normal. has been a long time since i have seen 42/43 and i know i need a break. will sort out a schedule tomorrow sometime as we are down to 31 days and must figure out what we can and cannot get done.

after last night's 4 mile walk back from the restaurant i figured i would be dead for today's run and i was. same as usual i was not really tired as i was tight. gail and i went out early enough and he did her run and i added a little to it throwing in some sixteen 50 yard striders working purely on form and not speed. followed that by doing a slow loop around the park and creek bed trail and then home.

later that morning we took a bus down to abingdon as we had not been there before and just wanted to see someplace we had not been. the bus took us downtown and we saw a nice old church and a mid-evil garden which was really pretty. also did a little food shopping as they had a nice store that we don't have in oxford and then we headed back to oxford.

back in oxford we stopped at the burrito joint and had some decent burritos and then walked home. added to the 6 miles of running this morning was another 5-6 miles of walking. 52 miles of running and another twenty or more of walking this week. no wonder then that the legs need a break especially after the 3+ hours of running on thursday.

then spent the rest of the day reading and watching golf on the computer. last day of june tomorrow and will sort it out in the morning when i see how i feel. no golf today other than a few swings to stay a little loose. the golf just seems so unimportant right now and that is almost hard to believe, but practice has been so bad and i don't get to play anyway so it is hard to stay motivated. i did register for a marathon in november that a friend of mine is running and it will be fun to do that again with him as we have not done one together since cape cod in 1996 i believe.

two holes to play between kenny perry and woody austin. more tomorrow. austin ahead by one. stay well people!
