a busy day of recovery

just love having my day to day life schedule all over the place. finally got to sleep about 1:45am. and so woke up a little late and decided rather than to battle the sun i would just rest the legs from the pounding and rode 31 miles on the bike trainer. did a nice solid ride and i could tell the legs had some bounce back from yesterday's 9 mile run. was a little surprised that the morning heart rate was 48 and i know i ran harder than usual yesterday, but 48 is high these days.

followed the ride with a good weight workout and some stretching. did a little yardwork after that and headed off to lowe's to see if i could get a headstart on picking out things for the bathroom work and also picked up some stuff we needed. then back home to finish some of the yard work and do some laundry. then took the third shower of the day. nice to have heat and humidity again and tomorrow will be even hotter.

then headed over to the driving range and got some short game practice in and hit some balls. had the pro take a quick look and he said i had to slow down coming form the top and also to get more wrist cock. that helped and will keep practicing - making some progress though still not very comfortable with everything. and finally home just before 10pm. seems like a fast day, but it was nice to not have to work on the house all day. that will be tomorrow's chore.

nice win for maryland today beating Cal.
still have to catch up on emails and will try- didn't have any email today and that is strange.

funny how my memory works but i was thinking today that 48 years ago i went to the first bar mitzvah held at beth emeth in phila., richie ecksel's. hope he is still doing well wherever he is. we are getting old fast.

remember the goal is to live to be 92 and shoot my age. but first i have a 20 mile run to do this week.
