Vacating

July 4, 2009

We are!
This is reminiscent of a vacation we took a few years ago, through St. Louis.
Actually, the biggest similarity is that it is hot. Triple digits or at least close.
A few years ago we were in similar temps with a car with no AC. But that was in August.
There was also a St Louis vacation (me alone) on the 4th of July. Went to the Arch. Played Knots. Ran through a rainstorm.

Last night was an Em’s game (Little Minor league A M’s), followed by fireworks.
The game was crowded and stiffling hot. The fireworks were fun. Down on the outfield, lying in the grass.

This morning was the Butte-Butte run/walk. Dan ran, the rest of us walked. The walk was a 4.5 mile. Enjoyable fun. Everybody made it – Jay, Carl, Chris, Elisia, Parker, Maggie, Sue, Kevin, Angela – ages 4-52. Then a few of us walked about 1-2 miles more to get coffee (how Seattle). Really, the minivan only held so many, and there were a few more of us than so many.

So – my milage is a bit shorter than it should be, and last week was devoid of exercise.
Falling off the training wagon, but will get back on next week. 45 days or so to go, so it won’t be the end of the world.

(Rey – if you’re reading, Carl said he parked 70, and Parker got 1 off of Carl)
I’m not sure, but there may have been a little bit of exaggeration going on.
