9 miles on the c&o canal

yesterday i needed a rest so i took the day off from running and rode 15 miles indoors very easily just so i could loosen up enough to stretch. then spent the day doing golf stuff- played 9 holes; hit 120 balls, pitched for an hour and chipped and putted for almost two hours. a fun day of golf- then ran errands.

today i was up at 6 and off to meet fred and mary ellen and the group to run on the c&o canal. a cold morning, but really quite pretty and the canal was in its' winter glory as the sun streamed across the canal water and the rocks made for a nice backdrop. the group ran well, each runner doing their chosen distance and i ended up running 6 fast miles and 3 easier ones. then home and eventually back to some golf stuff and more errands.

an ok day- tired now as i did this on about 4+ hours of sleep and i will need to get some more tonight if i want to get going early. change of plans as tomorrow's birthday party has been temporarily called off as the hostess came down with a flu bug.

lots to do this next week- time to get started....a big thanks to mary ellen, fred and monica.
