Note
weight:136lbs
Back home after a fine trip to Ireland, which included, quite surprisingly a lot of good food. I had decided that I probably wouldn't be posting my weight for a while out of embarrassment, but it's not nearly as bad as expected.
I was glad we had an early flight yesterday, got back to JFK a little after 1 pm, was home by 5, no traffic problems, got to Northampton before we were in the massive thunderstorms and rain as hard as I've ever seen it. Sure glad we weren't still up in the air circling around for a while.
But the temps in the 90s will take a bit getting used to. Last day in Ireland it was 50, blowing like crazy, rain squalls on and off. A very interesting and memorable day here.

Cemetery Hill sprint training. Scalps! :-)
Good run for the most part. Overran 1 a little, but mainly because I had on just shorts and was looking for a nice gap into the woods. A nice face plant going in to 8. Stopped two or three times before 9, at smaller (i.e. very tiny) reentrants. Main problem was at 12, to the trail to the left, first stopped before crossing the side channel, then crossed it and checked out the big rock, no streamer to be seen, checked out the smaller rock, no streamer to be seen there either, so finally moved on.
At 13, went a little too far to the right, had to cut back. To 17, took left route, but took a while deciding to do it. Rest was fine.
Maybe could have been a minute or so faster. But put out a hard effort.
Nice course! Briars were optional.... :-)
815/1000

Not too many dog walkers out on a Friday late afternoon, and no golfers to be seen.
