not as hot, but much more tired

wasn't that bad out actually when i went out to run, but there wasn't much firepower in the legs either. morning heart rate was a ridiculous 52 and i know i should have just slept in and recovered from all of the time i was outside yesterday, but i was really trying to just take thursday off as my plan had called for or at worst friday, if needed.

so i went out hydrated and headed north and went up to the 6 mile marker and then back down the east blvd loop throwing in the long hill at the bottom of kent rd as well. then at the parkway i turned around and ran the loop in the other direction and went back to the water fountain north of the 5 mile marker. then finally towards home, adding just a little bit south past waynewood blvd and a little north to make sure i had the distance in. enough and then home. nine miles, amazing on these legs. trying to stretch a bit, i rode 40 minutes on the bike while waiting for the air conditioner people to show up, but got a call cancelling instead, something about two people calling in sick and them having to take care of the older people who had no air conditioning and they were sure i would understand and yes, they could reschedule for august.

this call was almost immediately followed by a return call from my cancer dr.'s officer saying i could make an appt at my dr's new office but my insurance wouldn't cover it and i would have to pay out of my own pocket. seems the dr had not been approved yet to pick up her old patients from kaiser. another treat for me--

but one more to go as the rug/flood repair people couldn't make it out today and would call in the morning. strike three i think that was. oh well-

out back to cut the grass and weed a little and to re-plant some stuff that needed to be dealt with before my return to the UK next week. then i practiced some in the back yard hitting 120 various type shots with the lob wedge.

and then back in to cut up some more rug and throw more stuff out. third shower of the day came early today. ate a huge lunch as i felt almost weak, though not all that hungry. then off to the driving range where i practiced short game with brad and then hit a bucket of balls so-so to be generous. head was trying but the body was not willing. almost had my hook perfected but i ran out of balls too soon.

and home-- some more laundry, some vacuuming of the rug and more throw away of stuff.

and boring as these last few blogs have been that is all i have right now. need one good night of sleep but it obviously won't be tonight.

on the bright side we get to try it again tomorrow. other than the rug and future mold it could be worse. will work out the dr. thing one way or another and i don 't really care about the golf right now. the legs will recover and i can do the bank work tomorrow. everyday is saturday.

under 50 days to go now. already have some golf set up for when i get back and some races to run. will deal with the house and all the rest later. time to hang up clothes. peace. on that note, we have been at war over five years now. see if you can guess what the two sentences i just erased said. mission accomplished. good job brownie. yada yada yada---
