one less day to go

not much good to say about today. did the 6 mile shuffle this morning on legs that wanted some recovery from yesterday's three and a half hour run and then somewhere during my shuffle i reminded myself that i didn't usually run the day after i ran a marathon. but i got through it and at least spent the time outside and burning some calories, not many at the even slower than normal pace i was moving. some tightness but no real pain until right at the end when my piriformis acted up. might add here that it was an on again off again thing the rest of the day.

the river was pretty and i spent some time running around king george's park after gail went home. turns out i was correct about this park being george and not edward, though the sign at the other end says that part of it is the oatlands road playground area. i also went over and checked out the elementary's school solar driven water pond. really like it. i was headed over to the makeshift track when the kids came out to throw frisbee like things so i ended up going to the pond instead.

did try to do some golf practice and that didn't really go well, at least hitting the ball. short chipping practice went well though and that was good. am just hanging on until i get home and that is not the best way to do it and had hoped to go to the really lousy 9 hole course, but the rain changed those plans. too much trouble and walking to go there in the rain. another day maybe. really hard pushing myself to even go hit balls but i try.

the rest of the day was spent doing house stuff and reading. starting to work on what goes and what stays. will throw away a lot of what is here and will give away even more. some will be brought back also and some might have to be mailed home. my plan is to take as little as possible back there. just want to go home as healthy as i can if that is possible.

and that was the day. a sort of useless day and must admit that i am totally unmotivated to do anything now but go home. looking forward to going to the bank on monday and paying the last month's rent.

not much of a blog i know. weekend coming but everyday is the same now as gail works them all trying to catch up from her travel. if it doesn't rain i may head over to witney and watch some of the cancer relay rather than subject myself to more bad golf hitting or swinging. the ball is not getting in the way of my swing like it is supposed to be doing.

will see how much it is raining in the morning and go from there. as long as each day comes and goes that is ok with me. best day this week might have been the day i spent in bed with the fever, though the long run yesterday was ok. will go for four hours at least once while we are still here.

peace everyone.
