4 days worth/computer back up for now at least

no telling at what point my norton protection will crash again but for now i am working online.. was afraid to do too much in case i could mess someone else up- am so far behind now on emails, but the house is moving along- in a nut shell as i had 4hours of sleep last night trying to get the computer to work correctly--

ran 9, 9, 6 and 8 respectively in the last four days plus did 2 indoor twenty mile rides on the bike. had a really good run sunday and today, despite this morning's heart rate of 52--- hasn't been that high in a very long time and usually indicates that i am sick as it is even too high to show that i am just tired. last 4 weeks running mileage was 58, 55, 59 and 52. getting it back up though not doing anything long enough to train for this marathon and am now in taper time mode; counting on the old 3 hour runs getting me through. biggest problem i have is the legs just getting tight. at night they have been cramping way too often despite all of my usual time tested methods of not letting that happen.

we also attended an history dinner on saturday and caught some of the texas win over missouri and the saturday night live show with sarah palin- won't get into what i thought of that; then sunday we went to our friends don and judy and met roy and barbara and had a pizza party while we watched their presentation of the past summer's normany trip that they and gail went on together. a good time.

monday and tuesday i fit my stuff in and around the guys working on the house and dealing with yet a new bathroom leak in our third bathroom. what a house!

and this weekend i have the world series game i hope as we have tickets. will need to figure out how to get them to everyone so that we can all get in. will call-----

a little golf practice, but no playing other than 9 holes at hilltop one evening after the workers left. will decide what to do about golf really soon.

and now to put the house back together and get the rest of the shopping we need to do done and replace the furniture and stuff we threw away due to the flooded conditions.

more to say but it will have to wait. 79,707 is where i stand at the moment. less than 300 to go to hit 80k. big deal it is not i know, but another round number milestone. needing 293 miles, but also needing to taper for the race in penna. and with so much travel coming up- at least several driving trips- will be lucky to run some days. normally that would be less than 6 weeks, but would hope to hit it in about 7 weeks, putting it right around pearl harbor day, ironically i suppose.

will do some emails tomorrow if the pc is still working. the electric is back on as is the water. 2 doors and some painting to go -

the election is almost here and gone and the fate of the world awaits it. they really need another solution to the electoral college. but i digress. peace people. make sure you all vote- the vote and the boycott are two of our only tools.
