So the weekend started with Friday…I
did the yard work and cut the grass between rain showers and watching the
Midshipmen graduate on-line, then packed up the car for our trip to Ohio to
visit family. The car trip was traffic filled
and what normally takes 5 ½ hours took 7, ugh! The only saving grace was I was able to
listen to the Penguins clinch the series v. Ottawa on the way.
Saturday morning was chilly…ok it
was cold. There was frost on the ground
and the temperature was only 38F. Bobbi
and I ran 7 hilly and chilly miles near East Springfield, Ohio at a nice pace. We then got ready for other road trip to a wedding
in Canton, Ohio. It was at a very nice winery (http://www.gervasivineyard.com/)
and it was worth the trip to let loose and have some fun at the reception.
Sunday morning was again cold, only
39F when we started. Bobbi and I hit the road this time on the bike. We accomplished
25 miles on a very hilly route. We did
well and maintain a good overall pace. Afterward we helped prep for a Sunday Memorial
Day picnic. It was nice to talk to
family, especially with Dad. Toward the end I fixed an electrical cable on a
trailer that was to haul some tractors to the parade the next day…your welcome
Ron.
Monday morning had us packing to
head HOME! But first we made it
Richmond, Ohio for a church breakfast, a walk through the town’s Historical
Crew House and Museum, and then the Memorial Day parade. It was cool and started to sprinkle at the
end. However, Bobbi’s grandfather Bud
Jones was the Grand Marshall and it was just as quaint as I always remember. Then we finally hit the road back to Perduret
House. Thanks to my trusty navigator,
she steered us around a couple stop and go traffic spots on near I-68 and I-70
interchange, it took about 6 ½ hours…could
have been worse. We got peel and eat steamed shrimp and crab cakes and chowed
down once we got home.
I was trying to find any excuse not
to hit the road this morning but the not even and non-predicted rain storm
could stop me from getting in a solid 4.5 mile run in. It was an easy pace up to Capitol Hill and down to the Smithsonian Castle and back but
felt good despite the 1st mile getting a little wet.
Life happens and sometimes you just
have to get the run in….5 tomorrow and 7 on Thursday as we get closer to Bobbi's Tri in June...
