    Mornin' kids.

     

    Welcome to the ides of August.

     

    So many good posts to comment on yesterday, but I have no time this morning. Very soon, DW is going to give the the "two minute warning" that lets me know she is about ready to head out to our favorite dive for breakfast.

     

    You'll all be gratified to know that the wetlands delineation workshop yesterday afternoon was very interesting and helpful. Graham Nash was in great form and a lot of fun last night. He sang a lot of Hollies, CS&N, and new songs, and told great stories about almost everyone. But we got home late, and so getting up early for a short workout was a bit of a struggle. Busy day today, but I hope there'll be time for a nap along the way.

     

    Have a greta Saturday, and wishing fleet feet to all who are racing!

    Without ice cream there would be darkness and chaos.

          Our 65+ club members keep setting records! especially supergoddess, Jan.

          Hot and humid here too-went out for 2.4 hilly miles at 7am- almost as fast as our 90 year old!

            I'm with twocat and CNYrunner on those early runs while traveling.  She has it tougher than I do because she travels more, but our days are similar, all day on your feet, then the evening doing correspondence or client-related functions.

             

            Glad you liked my joke fatozzig.  Maybe I could have doctored those numbers a bit.

             

            Saturday is boring day for my running, as it's the day I do the miles I need to get in my week's goal, in my case 35/week.  Ran 4.2 with the Saint and got in a bit over 35 for this week. It was 77 degrees this morning and the people in the park were delirious over it.  You'd think it was in the 40's the way everyone kept commenting on the glorious weather.

             

            Lamb steaks on the grill tonight so I'm off to search through some marinade recipes.  Spareribs

              marj - looks like triathlon results.

              .

              4.5 RFT miles at 90-yo pace under still-cloudy skies that are already breaking up into blues skies of the last three-or-four months.  Though all this training hasn’t made me any faster, it succeeded in getting rid of five pounds that I can brag about at my Ironman mentor’s 84th birthday party this afternoon when he comments on my sorry fitness compared to when we were doing IM’s together thirty years ago. If only I could suck my stomach in for two-or-three hours.

                Lamb steaks on the grill tonight so I'm off to search through some marinade recipes.  Spareribs

                 

                I've got a great one that I use quite often that has red wine vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and dry mustard with a little Worcestershire sauce. Let me know if you're interested!

                 

                A trip to farmer's market, 5 miles on the Fox River Trail and 2 hours behind the lawn mower and weed whacker. I'm spent!  It's also close to 90° and really humid. A good day to watch the golf tournament at Whistling Straits. At home.  On television.

                 

                Have a great weekend everyone.

                  Spareribs the lamb sounds great!  Jlynne that sounds like a really good marinade.

                   

                  Finished today's wacky distance race.  Nearly a minute slower than last year.    Okay then, I think this is due to a lower abdominal muscle I pulled about a month ago.  I am knocking off all running and exercise that uses that muscle until it feels 100% for a few days.  It has been getting better, felt just fine and then come back repeatedly.  That means just one thing, it really needs more time to heal solid and I am going to have to give it the time.  I am not sure how long that will be but I suspect I am looking at a number of days playing couch potato or some variant thereof.

                  Live like you are dying not like you are afraid to die.
