back in the swing

I spent last weekend at an anniversary party for my folks.  It was out near Buffalo so it took the whole weekend.  I got up Saturday and ran a quick 12 miles, came home, showered and jumped in the car for a 5 hour drive.  Saturday night was the party and I ate lots of for that was very bad for me.  I didn’t weigh myself all weekend.

I had a good time though and there were lots of relatives I hadn’t seen since I was married 17 years ago, and some even longer.  My sister put together a great slide show of old family photos which everyone loved.  My brother couldn’t make it and my folks were very disappointed about that.  But over all we had a good time.  We had the party at the Inn where they had their wedding reception so it was kind of nostalgic in that sense.

I took a couple days off to rest from the 12 miles.  It was so HOT and HUMID I thought I was going to die.  I can’t recall a more grueling run since the start of this year.  Just dreadful.  I felt ill afterwards, like I was going to puke.  I haven’t had that in a long time.  Last night I ran an easy 4 on the nice flat running path with the family riding bikes.  The wife remarked that it wasn’t much of a workout for her.  Hrrmpff.

Not much else going on.  New Haven is a few days away.  I have some running to do before that.  Oh, and the secret thing is not such a big thing.  Anyone else’s response would likely be “Oh, yeah, ok.  How very nice for you.”  Its just good news for me.  But I don’t want to jinx it!  So I’m holding it back for the moment.  Stupid.  I know.  :)
