Feeling better

E here. I'm feeling much more like myself now. W escaped from getting sick too. The house has a nice sheen of Lysol. We should be safe.

I'm slowing getting back into running. I ran 1 mile yesterday and will attempt 3 tonight. Slowly. I'm running another race on Sunday with my college roommate C. It's her first race. I heard it's going to be hot!

Groton 2010

This is my second try at the Groton 10k. Last year it was 90 degrees out, this year, I had a chest cold. Apparently I run better with a cold than in the heat. I took 2 minutes off my time from last year. I was trying to do under a 10 minute mile but came in at 10:14. I'm angry but I couldn't breathe. Just in case you didn't know, breathing is important. I met up with some friends from the past. That's me on the right.

There's always next year.

Disappointment

W back again. I was so looking forward to baseball season starting and being able to indulge myself in watching my Red Sox. Unfortunately Major League Baseball and the Red Sox have combined to thwart me.

First MLB has given the Red Sox a full week of mid-week day games that I couldn't watch because, surprisingly I have a job that requires I work weekdays. Then the games I have watched the Sox have played the worst baseball I have seen them play in the past 10 years.

Well so much for baseball, better get my golf game in motion and try to salvage my spring.

Anyone doing some fun things this spring??

Weekend travels

The weekend W and I are traveling to upstate New York for my Grandparents 70th Wedding Anniversary. My cousin H graciously offered his house to host the party. I'm very excited that my family from VA will be there since I don't get to see them too often.

We are leaving early Saturday Morning and returning in the evening. I'm guessing I'll be grumpy by Saturday night. I'm guessing W will be too.

Sunday W's Mom is coming to visit for lunch and watch the Sox game.

Monday is all about relaxing.

Yet another week goes by

Last Saturday I went shopping with my sister W2. 8 hours of shopping. Boy, I was pooped but the good news is that I didn't break the bank and I got a whole lot of new clothes.

Sunday W and I watched Up. I highly recommend it.

There was more that happened in the last week, I just can't remember what. Is that bad?

Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months. . .

Wake up, gym, work, home, make dinner, eat dinner, clean up dinner, watch an hour of tv, bedtime.

That's been our schedule. Talk about a rut. We need some good excitement. I put good because there's different types of excitement and we don't want or need any of the negative kind.

C'mooooooooon excitement. We're ready.

Theatre

W back again, and we saw "How To Tame Your Dragon.". The movie was good, I however was impressed with the Cinema. Patriot Place cinema is the nicest cinema I have ever been in. The place was clean, the seats where way too comfortable for a theatre (or any place with low lighting, I was ready to take a nap sitting in them), they had real food not just popcorn and candy, and they had a section with tables and chairs where you could actually sit down and eat it. They had a bar with piano, that wasn't open at 11:00 am when we were there. (Come on people it's noon somewhere) The best part was the condiment bar where they had shake on flavors for your popcorn, including Garlic Parmesan, Nacho, Cheddar and Kettle Corn. Very nice and very adult oriented. Sometimes I think theatre forget adults go there too.

Every time I venture down to the Krafts complex near Gillette Stadium I become more impressed with how well they do their business. They turned one of the worst football franchises into one of the best and now they are turning one of the worst stadium locations in football into a entertainment destination. Impressive.

Happy Easter!

This week seemed to fly by. It raining all week put a damper on my running plans but the weekend will make up for it. I did get to run on Saturday and Sunday, all bundled up in my winter running gear. I'm looking forward to this weekend where I'll get to wear t-shirts and shorts. Go New England weather!

In my last post I mentioned that I forgot about the fire alarm testing, well, we got a letter and a second chance. I won't forget this time!

W and I are going to see How to train your Dragon. I think W is hoping I changed my mind about getting a family Dragon as a pet. I'm still not sure, the insurance rates for having one of those is outrageous. We'll see (don't give up yet W).

I'm guessing golf is in our weekend plans also. Sunday we are going to my Mom's house for Easter. W is VERY concerned that we won't be home for Opening Day. I plan on being very full and very comfy on my own couch for that.
