need to get the hang of this so I can post some not-pathetic bike splits

for 6.5 mi. I do believe that's HIM run pace :D

T2: packing lunch, walking to work, 20 oz lemon lime gatorade in the process

Tom and I kept things real easy on the Great Meadow and Jesup trails. Marion, I hope you tracked down the crew.

pulling the monkey ~ he's gained weight! I'd call this a strength workout...

Nice to talk with Vanessa, Bob, Becky & Bob and to see Marion and Meaghan on the way in, then Amy & Sara finishing up their run...Another great day to be in the park!

Hot but nice.

I would really like to run earlier on the hot days, but it is so hard. DeLaney still wakes up in the night. Do you know I have not slept through a night in over 21 months? It is wearing me down. I think it is time for some tough love for the little one, because I am so very tired. :(

I don't know how you ran 10 miles in this heat. Same to you Julie, on your bike ride. You gals are tough. I'm going to do my long run tomorrow, it's supposed to be cooler, I hope it's true.

on the carriage roads plus however far it is down duck brook road back to BH to catch the bus to SWH. The blueberrys are ripe. Stopped on top of Day Mt. and grazed for a while.

mill dam loop. Hot and humid = slow. I saw some ripe blueberries too. No grazing for me though.

...at least from running. Plenty of core workout from the move, though. RK and I have new digs right in the front of the building we're in now, so when everyone walks in, we'll be the first thing they see.

on the rowing machine to bring my 2008 total to 1 million meters. That works out to about 35,000 meters a week. Once I submit my log book and two cereal box tops to the folks at Concept 2 they'll send me a Million Meter Club certificate, a t-shirt, and a kilometers to miles decoder ring. I would have preferred to have run the equivalent distance the past six months but it's not a bad option when your wheels are on the mend.

Some on roads, some on trails, some on golf course. Waited until it started to cool off and it was so nice.

around EL with Bob C. & some with Becky too. Good seeing Julie, Kasch, & Karl and Marion & Megan too. I had fun with the track workout last night too, which was made much easier by the good company.

Congratulations on the 1,000,000 meters Frank! I hope that certificate is good for a million calories at Cracker Barrel.

Life is good in the woods.

In the p.m. The cool air was just starting to come in on the breeze, making it a really nice twilight run. I didn't push it and got into the zone where your body moves without much conscious thought at all.

'round EL in 50 min. Lots of work at the cabin, too. Got a land line today at the cabin. The cellphone was just too difficult to deal with in the Dead Zone.

Back to Beantown, tomorrow, ... I'm back safely at the time of this post Friday pm.

Keep running!
