tuesday's run, etc.

behind on this- thought i had blogged my tuesday run, but must have only thought about doing it and then didn't. in a nutshell gail had called really early and got me up so by 6:20am i was out on the trail again. went north up through the construction and then over the bridge just past the water stop. turned left and went past the few houses there and then down the trail towards the 6 mile mark. not bad out today heat and humidity wise, though i always feel some sort of pressure to get finished on the days i fly as it feels like there is so much to be done before i leave.

but when i run north i go at least past the 6 mile mark to see the wide water area of dyke marsh as it just so pretty and this early it is extremely so with just one heron standing in the water waiting for breakfast to come swimming by.

then back up the long hill. passing up the water fountain i stay straight on the road and turn down towards east blvd. a car goes by now and then on their way to work and i continue on looking at the gardens. i throw in a few short little pickups to stretch the legs out a bit and then at collingwood i cross back over the parkway and turn south. back down towards waynewood and i keep going south. it is early and despite feeling pressure, there is none really. i cannot get it all done and will leave lots of stuff waiting for our return.

i run all the way down to the restaurant on the hill and turn back towards home. this should give me about 9 miles and will do for the day. once home i do a quick short ride on the bike to just stretch out the legs again. 12 easy miles at a steady rpm's about 94 and then a short weight workout and finally done.

spent the rest of the morning scurrying about with house stuff and trying to clean up the flooded stuff and subsequent mold. took a break and hit some pitch shots and putted some. no range today for sure. eventually i just stopped everything and got ready for don to come get me and take me to the airport. the rest as they say, is history and i am back here. and life goes on...
