ok

things are ok still having trouble persuading A. to let me register for the marathon in october and still not sure who I can find to bring N&J there to watch me if I do it.

Dropped back from 24 to about 20 miles per week to relax a bit, plus need to do a lot of yardwork lately as it is spring.

Sunday 8 miles
Monday off
Tuesday off for running but 90 minutes ice skating
Wednesday 4 miles run
Thursday 2 mile walk with N&J and then some yardwork,raking and sweeping driveway and walkway

Friday probably 4 miles
Saturday 2 or 3 miles

so a total hopefully of 22 or 23 I guess.

N&J are funny today we had a nice walk/bike ride for them and then spent a bit of time at a park where they went down the slides then we went home and got out rakes and cleaned some of the front yard, the city is just about finished with that cement sidewalk they put it, they need to fix the grass next.

I am getting excited about following the red sox, there are a lot of new players on the team but of course they remain as exciting and fin to follow as always. i am afraid this is the last season in boston for trot nixon #7 and that is odd. My sister made a big sign when I did the marathon in 2003 and it said trot #7 on it and she drew the red sox logo on it and I think it said RUN CHRIS RUN. It was cool.

I must be getting old because I can tell I run slower and I am more sore now than I ever used to be. I still really love it, running outside with my new iPod especially is great.

And I stopped reading the McIerney novel which is dumb because it is due back at the library real soon and I am reading Coma by Robin Cook because we caught most of the movie on cable last week, it is a very good novel so far. And I read a good chunk of the book about Barry Bonds taking steroids GAME OF SHADOWS I think it was called, it ws interesting but kinda sad, Barry Bonds has a lot of problems, he is definitely a rage-aholic.

I'm off to bed now.
