So I have this habit that when I hear certain names a special songs pop into my head. For example, when I am introduced to someone named Jennifer, my mind zooms to Tom Paxton’s song written for his first daughter Jennifer – “Jennifer’s Rabbit” Oh and if I am introduced to a Kate or Katy my mind goes to the song Tom wrote for his other daughter Katy!
This morning was a running day. My last run was a 3.1 mile run on Sunday. Today I decided I would run a four mile course. I chose an out and back course that I call Creek Out and Back. I have been running over this course for many years I like it because it’s fairly flat and I get to run along the Rancocas Creek for a short way. Only problem is that I only get to really see the create in the winter and early spring.
So sometimes as a runner you have to plan around of activities. Today I wanted to run but I also knew I wanted to do a load of laundry at the laundromat and make a trip to Trader Joe’s. I also wanted to be home before the Eagles game at 1:00.
So last week was nice. Morning temperatures were in the mid-60s and relative humidity was also fairly low. Yesterday and today overall temperatures were up. This morning it was 76 degrees at 8 o’clock with 95% relative humidity and the sun shining brightly! Not conditions that I like to run in! This 68 year-old body can take just so much!
Ok I’ve done enough mulling over my thoughts about The Who (will read) and what (should I write about) concerning my blog. Enough monkey brain! Just calm down and go back to writing like you have for the last nine years! That writing got you through some hard times with your job and helped bring you to a good point in your life today!! So whether or not anyone is coming along for the ride, I will try to get back to blogging as often as I can about the books I read, the music I listen to and my attempts to turn back my biological clock!! Speaking of which today was was a running day!!
