The part of the job I HATE is the paperpushing. Unfortunately, without paper, nothing would happen. That's my new mantra. That...and...money is made of??? Right, paper. Half a Director's, or wannabe's, job is: paper. Jeeez. What sucks is they haven't even announced "acting director."
Stoney was getting the silent treatment, until this am. He hit on First Bank of Dad for $$$, I told him he needed to eat some shit first. He did. And he received.
BEAUTIFUL morning, 69 degs. YAY!!!!! Did 10m. Hadda ;).

day 703
KNEW it was too good to be true!
Back to "Toxichouse." Knew the streak couldn't last. It was trimming hedges with rose clippers, at least It tried. prob is: doesn't handle fatigue well. As a result, It was in rare form last night. 9:48 I'm attempting to sleep, It decides to rummage through drawers (a nightly ritual) for bedclothes, of course turning on the light. No concern for causing a disturbance. Taken aback that I was pissed @ being awoken. Amazing, utterly amazing.
Woke up, initially @ 1:48, rain. hadda shut the windows. Of course Stoney was still up (stays up all night, sleep @ 4:30 ish, meanwhile It is RIGHT next to him on the couch-great parenting eh?). Back to bed for another 2 hours, rain had stopped. Good. Headed out 10 mins later than usual, but was able to get my run on. Thanks God. Needed it!

day 702
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
There IS comfort in the routine!
2nd day of "Back to the line," continuing the streak. Feels good to NOT have taken a day off. Been weeks since the ellip as well. Nice. Funny though, STILL using my worn out NB's, using the Born to Run school of thought, and my knees are ok!
Mentally preparing myself for the pain to come. July 4th USED to be a day for family to come together @ Uncle Pete's-since Mom died those days are gone. THEN it became a day to hang @ Bill n' Betty's-remember when I called what I thought was Shebitch's bluff and called-and he all but said I wasn't welcome. REALLY hurt. Oh well.
Again, God puts the right people in the right place @ the right time. Was lovely to-out of the blue-be contacted the other day, asking if I was going to Steve's. Bless her. If she knew how important she was to me.

day 701
funny, I don't FEEL any different!
The big day is here. Acting Director is amongst us. In other words: same shit, dif day. Dunno what I expected, but not much has changed, and shouldn't. Until we have a permanent Director, status quo!
St.Francis this am. Needed to get back home. Thanks to God being God, in addition to the usual suspects, Len was there. Wonderful! Last night was, of course, hell. Shebtich in-and It WAS due-rare form. Decided @ 10:48 to start doing shit. Nevermind today was a big day, nevermind that normal people are chilling/sleeping. When you haven't waitressed in years, and refuse to move beyond a stuck point, this is how you behave.
Now, again, here's what I don't get: I can do 6-7 miles of rolling hills @ AP, yet last evening's 5k kicked my ASS. WASSUP???
Nice to not havta answer to anyone, or wonder what news to give. Only gotta answer to Albany.

day 700!!!
WOW!
Sometimes, putting one foot in front of the other is its own reward.
Did the Governor's Island 10k this am. Why? Not quite sure, other than I'd never done it before. Logistically, NOT user friendly: truck to Manhattan for number pickup (no day of race), then BACK to manhattan for the run. Take the ferry to the island, then a ferry back. NOT user friendly. NOT cheap, not even cost effective-$35. Yet, did it. The lengths I go to to maintain homeostasis.
So, took the first ferry there, after parking in a garage-didn't wanna risk a ticket. parking near Battery park is now a nightmare. Got to the run, me and 8 others. Had the island to ourselves. Hadda wait, BUT it was a pleasant wait. hammocks!!! Nice. Worked on my tan, napped, before I knew it, 11 mins to race time. Nice. 3 loops, NOT nice, but did ok.
Took the ferry back, then as we disembarked, some giril i'd been eyeing asked if I'd ever done and modeling. Can you imagine? Said she was a casting agent, took some picks, said she "liked my look." Googled her, she's legit!!! Imagine! ME, a model????? Now, let that sink in. Didn't really wanna do this race, it WAS a pain in the ass logistically, but if I hadn't done it, this wouldn't have happened. Amazing.
As I was getting outta the garage, got texted asking if I was going to Steve's party. DAYUM!!! Would'a liked to have gone with her, but, such is life, can't be in 2 places at once.
Got the HELL outta Manhattan (Gay Pride parade made it HELL getting out), ate, then the evening 5k. Torture, total torture. NEVER ever run the whole thing. For a measly 5k, it's a KILLER. But hey, made it through the weekend.
Tomorrow my adulthood begins. My inner child gone. The facility's guard changes and guess who's calling the shots. Always knew I was meant for it, but we'll see who the PERMANENT boss is.

day 699
"the fun one"
Did this am's 5k, Long Beach. One of the races I do yearly. Yes, try to NOT do 5k's, but some are built in/gimme's. This is one of them. Basically anything Long Beach does. Brotherfromanothermother wasn't there, but he seems not to be anywhere anymore. Oh well.
Actually a VERY good thing it was "only a 5k." Gave me an excuse to go a lil' harder, broke 9 mins. In 93% humidididity, THAT'S a bonus. Followed some girl, she started walking, broke her balls "you gonna let a 51 year old beat you?" "Can't walk on a flat course." Eventually passed her. Good thing, she came in @ 9 mins.
Was tempted to stick around, free concert in Long beach, Blood Sweat n' Tears. BUT, wanted to get my number for manana pm's race. Headed home, with the intent of hitting Runner's Edge. Good thing I read the paper for the MORNING'S race. NO day of race. SHIT!!! Threw on some clothes, hit the car, off to Manhattan. FUCK!!!!! To paragon no less. Joy joy, parking in Manhattan on a fucking Saturday. bad enough the race is out of the way (though a lovely course), I gotta shlep all the way to NYC for number pickup.
Thanks to God being God and helping out, it was made easy. Shebitch was home, couldn't hang there. So, bought Stoney breakfast, dropped it off @ home, then headed back out-a drive by.
Took an hour to get to 18th. n' Broadway. Actually found a spot. Grabbed a cab to the store, got my number, cab back to the vehicle. BACK to L.I. for my number for manana pm, THEN back to Queens for the alumni/reunion/school closing banquet.
Stuck around there for all of 10 minutes. the ultimate drive-by. Saw who I wanted to, was mistaken for PRIEST 3x, got fed up, left. Enough of that. True, you (usually) can't go home again. BUT, it WAS nice seeing the peeps I needed to. Thank GOD for the program, meaning, I KNOW I'm not THAT important. The peeps who I met with were genuinely glad to see me, and I them. Brother James (now Jim Flaxington) asked where JP was, said he was the smart one, I was always "the fun one," love him. My foster father. AND, my brotherfromanothermother from THAT era, my man Dennis. We gave each other a BIG hug. my man, my main man. Mi hermano. Then, after being told "I always had a HUGE crush on you," only to find she meant JP, I was outta there. Wonderful times, amazing place, but that was then. Today, kids have no allegiance, Stoney'll NEVER feel what we did @ St.Gabe's. Turn the page.
Officially, the toughest week of my life is now over.

day 698
a.c.o.a. issues.
Today's the boss's last, day. More exactly, his last morning, he'll be off this pm. Feelings resulting are numerous. Really feel I'm entering The Void. Just like when I was 5, same feelings. Remember, I'd been told by too many, for too long about "leadership" and all that crap. It IS my time. But, it IS also nice to have someone to look up to.
Manana, ANOTHER rough one. Jeeeeeez.
Thank GOD the streak continues. Was actually afraid of the rain, was fully prepared to run in it. REALLY needed the run. But it misted at worst. THANK YOU GOD!!!!!
This weekend will be the "bop 'til you drop" weekend. 5k manana am, The Party/Closure/Alumni @ 1pm, 10k Sunday am, 5k Sunday pm. Yep, running away from it all!!!
What the FUCK would I do without running? (ellip???)

day 697
3 days down, 2 to go!
Monday-anxiety day, worry about Tuesday's happenings.
Tuesday-2 potentially life changing events.
Wednesday-deal with the fallout from Tuesday, my own internally as well as staff.
Again, thank GOD for running. Was actually concerned this am, rain had been predicted. It WAS raining yesterday evening, but, dodged a bullet this am. Was able to get my run on and did well. Never, ever take it for granted. If it weren't for running, don't know WHERE my head'd be at.

Day one, check!
Got through the interview, then the retirement dinner. VERY strange day!
First, got my run on. Thank GOD. Few hours on the job, then the interview. VERY weird, being interviewed by people I know, AND knowing their agenda. THEN the boss's retirement dinner, WITH the same people who interviewed me! VERY strange. Also, seeing so many elements from the past together @ the dinner. Not a bad thing, but very strange.
Thank GOD for running. Keeps me centered, focused.
Came home-Shebitch has been behaving lately, she painted the bathroom! WTF??? NOW she cares???
Strange days indeed.

day 695
Big day is here!
Am I nervous? No. This day has been a long time coming. Am I prepared? Yes. We'll see. Times like this make me grateful I have a 12 step program to keep me in line, "responsible for the effort, not the outcome." Do my best, then see what happens. AND, if another gets the gig, be happy for them, but know I'd been doing it all along. We will see.
Boss's retirement dinner after that. Wow. REALLY wish it was tomorrow!
St.Francis this am. Bagpipe guy was there. Nice. Also, nice to be in a groove with the Dim Sum peeps-"see you tomorrow," nice greeting. A very good morning.

one down
4 to go. The hardest day, yet, of this week is for the books. Made it unscathed.
People talking about how things are going to be. A tough part of it will be the appointment to Acting Director. Exactly what I'm doing now. No more $$$, just an official title. Unless some hotshot comes along in the interviews, or unless I do something really stupid(er), I shouldn't have too much of a problem. Historically, A.D.'s slide into the director's gig. Problem is, they've never had anyone like me.
Great run to start the day, earned my check, good.
Manana, first the interview, then the dinner for the boss.

Good start!
THIS is gonna be a rough week. Nothing left to hide behind, no one to lean on/look up to. Manana I have the Director's interview, then tomorrow night the Boss's retirement dinner. Wow.
Saturday: alumni reunion/celebration of St.Gabriel's/party to note the closing of the school.
Wow. My past is gone.
Time to grow up.
This am, St.Francis. Felt good to run in the cool(er) early am air. Ran hard, felt it. After yesterday, needed it. Funny, took 5-20 second walk breaks, STILL came in faster than last year.
Good thing Father's Day went well.

day 693
didn't TOTALLY suck
Did the "Portugal Day" 5m, used to be the NYRR Father's Day run. Now, I THOUGHT it was a 4m. Good thing I checked the website. Shit. After the 5k yesterday, had little chance of doing well.
HOTTTTTT as HELL, took no less than 5 walk breaks, until 2 peeps egged me on. Thank God! Probably went out too fast. Was one of those mornings where it was tough to get a good breath. Still, didn't TOTALLY suck, in the top 50%, not bad, exactly where i should be. Prob is: I'd secretly hoped to break 9. Fat fucking chance. Really had zero steam today.
Shebitch actually behaving. Came in yesterday with 2 bags of golf balls she picked up @ the local thrift store. Really bad, old balls, but amazing she actually wasn't mental.
Came in from the run this pm, Stoney with a shit eating grin. Was holding out, stringing me on until she returned from work (perfume kiosk) with my Father's Daty gift-Grey Flannel. Really starting to worry-has the mental phase actually ended. Dare I think it?
Peeps checked in with Father's Day wishes. Nice. In an odd twist of irony, brotherfromanothermother was gonna be in Central park-biking with his woman. We miss each other. Nice.
This is gonna be a tough week. Boss retiring, me appointed acting director, interviewing for The Big Chair, closing of my school/reunion/alumni banquet. Alot of change.

day 692
:) !!!!!!!
Did one of the "yearly" runs. I.E. one of the races you HAVTA do. CPA's 4 a cause. Glad I did. Local, no big deal, but fun. A good excuse to see what ya' got. HOTTT!!!!! Took 4-20 second walk breaks, yet STILL broke 9 minutes! Happy. VERY happy!!! Imagine if I hadn't taken the walk breaks?
Was a cute chica who egged me on, pushing me saying "you're almost there" as I took walk breaks, yet, SHE was behind me!!!! (AND, I HATE when people say "almost there." Hey, it worked! :)
Manana, 4m in Central Park. My way of celebrating Father's Day!

streak is broken!
...then again, that's why streaks are good. Break one, start another.
This am, RAIN!!! Was ready to lace 'em up and head out, 10 mins before leaving home, BOOM! Skies fucking opened up! Good. need the break!
Last night, did Curtis's 5k. Really a blast! Usual suspects from the Queens peeps to the Lawnguyland peeps! Funny, was on the phone repeatedly helping the uninitiated find their way. What we take for granted is a mystery to others.
Curtis-always a helluva guy! Anita and Sal made the scene, Deb, Gillian, Helen-Helen's bro and sis in law, Rob. Was great to have a meeting of the worlds! For a brief time after the run, a light spritz, then stopped. We lucked out!
Follow Deb for most of the race, bless her. She kicked my ass! Tried to catch up, but just didn't have it in me. Good for her! (how the FUCK you can run after work totally escapes me).
Race was well attended, as well it should be. Curtis is a helluva guy.
GREAT pix, see below!

day 690
a break?
Actually slept in this am-awoke @ 3:50. An hour late for me. Got Curtis's run this evening. Rather than run myself crippled, use tonight as a "speed run," thus giving me the morning off. Nice. Used to do two-fers, but getting older and wiser. THIS is why I used to run Flushing Meadows poorly. For how many races did I actually have to WALK part of a lil' old 5k course, pretty flat @ that? This one was a mental block-could run Alley Pond with no prob, rolling hills no prob; get to Flushing Meadows: walk breaks!!! WTF? Thank God got over THAT hump.
Also, REALLY nice to be back home. Always remember the day when solitude met loneliness, I was there with Priest's camera, taking pictures @ the zoo. Utterly alone. Not quite sure whether to enjoy the solitude or lament being alone. Guess that one got figured out n'est pas?
This one is one of those rare examples of getting excited. Curtis is a helluva guy, and I know I'll see some Queens peeps. Love that! Not to mention being back where it all started: Flushing Meadows/Shea Stadium/The World's Fair.
Thanks Mom. You did well.

Also, REALLY nice to be back home. Always remember the day when solitude met loneliness, I was there with Priest's camera, taking pictures @ the zoo. Utterly alone. Not quite sure whether to enjoy the solitude or lament being alone. Guess that one got figured out n'est pas?
This one is one of those rare examples of getting excited. Curtis is a helluva guy, and I know I'll see some Queens peeps. Love that! Not to mention being back where it all started: Flushing Meadows/Shea Stadium/The World's Fair.
Thanks Mom. You did well.

day 689
48 great hours!!!!!
STILL no rain-during the runs that is! Last night, showers off and on. Again, why people say meteorologists never get it right is a mystery to me. To me, they always get it. Exactly last evenings conditions had been predicted. Earlier in the pm, I called Stoney, knowing he had half days (finals) asking that he shut the windows. When I get home they're open, not to worry, he was napping on the couch. Chillaxed for a bit, next thing, RAIN! Fortunately, heavy, and straight down. Actually left the windows open.
Sho' 'nuff, this am, niiiiice! Cool, 59 degs. REALLY terrific!

glass IS half full!!!
Glad I sucked it up. Was raining when I woke up. Good news: had the house to myself. Bad News: house was empty. Guess It spent the night with groupies. I knew Stoney was spending the night with brotherfromanothermother. Nice if It would have said something (THEY wanted a dog, First Bank of Dad gets to tend to it). So, had a blissful, uninterrupted sleep. Nice.
RAIN!!! Again! DAYUM. Headed to the job, checked in, misting. Fuckit, laced 'em up anyway. Glad I did!!! After the 2 5k's, needed the miles (AND Bagpipe guy was there! Made the morning). Funny, yesterday's 5k-used as an excuse to get my ass out and run despite rain, was the same one I'd sworn never to do again. Totally forgot about it. Glad I sucked it up!!!

MORE gooder!!!
Did this am's 5k purely with the intent of using it, like yesterday, as an excuse to run rather than gym it. POURING when I awoke this am, but figured, suck it up. Glad I did. THIS one was across the parkway from yesterday's, they're kind'a like sister races. THIS one HILLY!!! You know you do alot when you forgot all about it. I thought this one was a new one for me, turns out I'd done it years ago, having sworn off it due to its hills.
GLAD I did it. STILL broke 9 minutes, and THAT'S with 3 20 second walk breaks!!! Nice.
A quaint town, number pickup @ the gazebo. Picture below.

redemption!
Got over Thursday's poor performance. How? Was raining this am, good thing I preregged for a local 5k. The kind I like. Actually is one of the few I haven't, yet, done. Nice, near work, rolling hills, Herricks. Actually was surprised to see a Long Island Usual Suspect-most were @ the Sayville 5k.
Came in under 9. Good. By no means an easy course, but no mile markers. Good, actually VERY good. Made you go "all out" (or my version thereof) earlier. Twice I asked runners next to me how much remained. Both, @ various points said "half a mile." So much for asking, but I did well.
REALLY glad I preregged. Was raining up until the actual start. If I hadn't paid in advance, would'a gone to the gym.

Getting better
Did the 5k last night. With the hot/humid weather, storms were a possibility. of course, the skies DID open up. But don't let's get ahead of ourselves.
This one was one of the "gimme" races. One of the runs you have to do as a Long Island Usual Suspect. (what I don't get is: the self same peeps who come from WAY out east for this Nassau County event-almsot in Queens, won't ever cross that border! Their loss.) Last night's turnout was roughly half of what it usually is-due to the crap weather-you could've scraped the humidididity off you with a spatula. Still, nice to see George, Joe, Anita, Pam, Rick, Debbie, Curtis, Joe, Kurt, Irene, Shana, Paul, and lo and behold DP! Cool. A peep!!!
Cool shirts-golf shirts/polo shirts.
But, like I said, almost as soon as the gun went off, rain! (still beat being in Central Park. To think I almost went). Thank GOD DP was there. Ran with her. Kept me from running toward my car.
REALLY fun trying to throw off the computer chip-our net time reflects crossing the finish line @ the same time (I looked to see which foot her chip was on to sync the finish).
Afterwards, great munchies-killer cupcakes. Made me wish I actually ate.
***STILL 8 seconds better than last year! Pissed I didn't break 9 minutes, but last night was really a run to finish, let alone finish well.
Back home this am-St.Francis. The streak lives! No days off. Actually felt like a slacker yesterday-not running in the am. If I hadn't been doing the 5k @ night, I'd have felt totally out of sorts. Nice to know I can't remember the last time I was on the ellip.

day 683
now THAT was unusual!!!
Felt odd to NOT lace 'em up this am. Weirder STILL to not lace 'em up last night. Really like the Wednesday night series @ Eisenhower, but compared to more miles, more DIFFICULT miles, predawn-there's no contest. However, this am, hadda chill. Tonight 5k, also @ Eisenhower, but a GLIRC event. One of those "you gots'ta do it" events. The good news: it's only a 5k. The other news: gonna be hot/humid as a mofo!!!

day 682
one step @ a time
The streak lives! No rain, VERY hot/humid, so predawn running a must. St.Francis.
We've finally got "shirt off" weather. Nice. Feels good to get back to minimalist running. Knees good as well. Again, that "less is more" shit is working. The downside? Results are inconclusive until 60 months from now. Gotta gauge through long term effects.
For now, feeling good, I'll take it.

day 681
step by step
St.Francis this am, did well. Improving. Judging through the use of the "Usual suspects," and my distance either in front of or behind them, doing better. This is good. Not to mention am temps REALLY good! If I had a brain, I'd run after work, get used to the summer. But no, don't wanna havta tolerate a run, much rather enjoy it-and condition @ the same time.
Toxichouse has actually been stable! Straight home after work, Stoney asked why I was there, his usual. Gave him The Look, he shut up. Shebitch had piles/bales of clothes EVERYWHERE, including Stoney's room, as in: you hadda step OVER bags of crap to get to his bed. If you ever watched Hoarders on A & E, this is exactly the same. It was apologetic. Maybe, just maaaaaaaaybe It's mental status is improving? Dare I think so? Either way, for a day of peace, I'll take it.

This is what life is about!!
REALLY feeling good after Saturday (not that Sunday sucked, but hey). Can't beLIEVE I bumped into Mike Taylor!!! All because I decided to do that evening 5k!!! On his website, he has pics of playing @ the LI Marathon. Imagine the number of times we passed each other and didn't recognize one another??? Absolutely amazing.
STILL more amazing is Shebitch. Actually has been behaving. Wow.
St.Francis this am, back to loggin' miles! Especially important as this was the beginning of the silly season. Though I try to NOT do 5k's, some you must. This Thursday evening is one of them, as fate would have it-next Thursday as well. Hey, use 'em as "speed" workouts. a.k.a. confidence boosters. The other good news: they're on home turf. One @ Eisenhower, the next week @ my REAL home turf-Flushing Meadows.

YESSS!!!
Did well @ the 8k. Not GREAT, but "well." Would'a been nice to break 9, but came in @ 9:02, with a 10 second break. I'll take it. Again, if I hadn't (literally) run myself into the ground yesterday, I'd have done better.
All things considered, I'm pleased. Not only did one local club represent @ a brother club's race, but I did ok in the process.
I'll take it!

wow!!!
Did the 5k in CP this am, tough, but hey, it WAS only a 5k. Broke 9. Happy with that. BUT, you do this one to try for speed, knowing the distance isn't what you're used to. Did well. Happy.
Then, back to Toxichouse. Even THAT went well. Had a long talk with Stoney about boundaries, right and wrong....the whole father thing. So far so good.
Went to the evening 5k, and...and. Time sucked, a full minute slower than this am, but then again, whotheFUCK does back to back 5k's, let alone on the same day??? PLUS, this one was HILLY!!! Just as this am's was tough, but brief, this pm was HILLY, but brief. At least I didn't havta walk. Met my friend of the night, turns out the guy had NHL. Amazing. BUT, that wasn't most amazing, though he and I have amazing similarities. Guess who the entertainment was??? Mike Taylor!!!!! Between the two of us we have a whole liver! He was as shocked as I was that we met. Wow.
Amazing day, quite amazing.
Thanks God.

confirmation
in 3 weeks I'll be appointed "Acting Director."
This takes a bit of getting used to.
Now, of course we all know since starting here 14 years ago, I HAVE been "Acting Director." With our boss managing 2 ships, when he wasn't here, literally half the time, I was CEO. This was great because he's a great boss, and because it prepped me for the future. Also, it taught me when to take the lead and when to back off.
The downside? Between his leaving, and HIS boss retiring, I really feel like the peeps we USED to look up to will all be gone. We will be the ones others will turn to. A nice thing, really. But kind'a lonely. (though Stoney will never know how fortunate he is. If not for this, he wouldn't have the opportunity to attend college).
I pray my father is proud. I know my mother is.

THAT hurt!!!
Sometimes being a parent sucks. Being a SINGLE parent, even worse.
Went home yesterday, 4:30, Stoney's there with his peep. Got PISSED I was home. Can you imagine? Aren't I a prick (working all day, then actually setting foot in my house?!!!)??? Thereafter, slammed the door behind me as I left him the house. Could you IMAGINE doing that to your parents????? Knowing Shebitch will only reinforce this behavior makes it even worse. Really, really, hurt. Yet, gotta suck it up and do the right thing. When I came home, after his friend had left, I met with him and made him aware of the transgression. Especially in view of the fact that between he and Shebitch, neither contributes anything to the house. How often do I come home and the place is a shambles? The back screen door is still in disrepair, originally broken because it was left blowing in the wind. How many times have I asked that they remember to shut it (something NORMAL people take for granted). Imagine telling people under your roof to close a door????? Thereafter, if you recall, as I was attempting to repair it, Shebitch was on a tear, hurling my belongings to the ground, repeatedly, as in: as I picked them up It threw them down again.
This am, he texts me asking where his $$$ is. (he'd asked for some pocket $ to hang with his peeps this pm). Let him figure this one out. I'd have denied him lunch money as well, but you KNOW Shebitch won't step up. First Bank of Dad teaches spoiledness a lesson.
It hurts. Oh well.
St.Francis this am. Completes the week. Nice. Didn't havta take a day off. This weekend: VERY busy. 5k manana am, 5k manana pm (in my mind, put the two together to equal my daily needed miles. Sunday, local 8k, one of those "local clubs stick together" runs.
Irks the piss outta me that I'm the teacher of lessons, but such is life. Imagine not being welcome in your own home??? Fuck that, this will change.

ouch!
Did the LIRRC Summer Series last night. It was National Run Day, using it as either my "speed" workout, or an excuse to sleep in and not do my predawn ritual. Big mistake. All day, sunny, then last evening: RAIN. FUCK!!!!! Between the surreal heat/humidity and rain, yucch. But, hadda press on. After that week in which I'd been there and split when the rain kicked in, I figured stick around and man up. THAT was the good news. I'd fulfilled my committment. Bad news: pace SUCKED. At LEAST 15 seconds per mile slower than I should've, AND a 10 second walk break. FOR A 3 MILER!!!!! Due to the crap weather they used an abbreviated course. Even that didn't help. Fortunately (everything IS relative), all my benchmarks were off pace, on my curve, so my net time was good. Still, annoyed I let ONE race go past 9 per mile. DAYUM.

SLIMY weather. Again, we went from 56 degs the week before, to high 80's. Yucch. However, gotta keep goin'. Today temps predicted to hit 90 ish.
Nothing this am, slept in-left Toxichouse @ 5:30. Since today's National Run Day, do the LIRRC 5k tonight. KNOW it's gonna be oppressive, possibly even rainy, but gotta.
