Overslept

Missed my run this morning. Which meant because it was 90 and humid today I ended up back on the treadmill after work. I don't know what's up with the treadmill lows.

Weekday Long Run

It was a perfect morning for a run. 65 degrees and dry. I am also very excited that this is my last long Friday morning run. Long runs move to weekends following Labor Day.

No more run, shower, sit at desk all day. : )

Flood

It's been raining for three days straight. You can't tell from the picture but there are waves of water crashing across Charles Street. I wimped out on the run today and headed to the gym for some quality time on the treadmill.

(FYI - I hate the treadmill.)

Why I Run

Busy week. Golf match this morning, won 4 & 3. Championship finals on Sunday.

This meant moving long run # 7 to this afternoon following the 18 holes in the morning. Want fresh legs for Sunday. I dislike running in the afternoon. And I really hate it when it's sunny, 80 degrees, and humid. So 12 miles turned into a run/walk of 9 miles. Happy I made it through and am justifying the distance with the fact that I walked 4 miles this morning on the course.

Of course - all this activity means a treat at the Four Seas before heading back to Boston. I run for ice cream.

Wet

I was supposed to do 6 miles in the afternoon following an 18 hole practice round. But when I got to the course, it was raining.

I moved the golf to the afternoon, threw on the running cloths, and hit the road. It was wet and oppressively humid. And I hit a low wall right at mile 5 which left me scarfing sport beans and walking home. Not the worse run and not the best - but at least it's done.

In a row

For some unknown reason I like things that are in a row. Similar to these boats. I need some new photo ideas.

Things I Would Miss

I was crossing over the BU rail road bridge when I happened to look down. White ducks everywhere. I can't figure out how they got there, why they are hanging out, or if they are visiting or planning to stay. It was one of the strangest things to see in the middle of Boston.

Boats

I'm not sure why - but the boats made me think of ducks. Ducks in a row.

Quiche

I always say the best part of making quiche for dinner is quiche for breakfast.

Uninspired

Feeling a bit uninspired today. Not going to get a long run in this week thanks to beer and wine celebration following the golf finals last night. Off for a relaxing weekend on the cape with no sports.

Will get back on track next week.

Still

 First run since Sunday. Weeks schedule completely out of whack thanks to the WGAM State Amateur Championship. Three tough days of golf until I lost yesterday.

Got in a quick run this morning. It's hot and humid. Makes me feel less bad that I'm not teeing it up for the finals.

Golf

Next week I will be playing golf - hopefully through Thursday if I win my matches. Not sure how much running I'll get in for the week.

Plan is just to relax, and enjoy the golf. One missed week of runs won't kill me. (I hope!)
