a great weekend makes monday feel even worse
all around good weekend.
friday night i got out for a run and at about the 1 mile mark i managed to twist my ankle when i stepped on the edge of the sidewalk. it did it's normal pop sound and smarted pretty good but once i walked it off i was able finish my run without issue. it is still sore but not debilitating.
saturday, robin's sister hung out with calvin while we got out for a nice 2 hour ride around the capital city trail. we pushed at times and it felt good to have some time just the two of us. later, my dad and brother brooks came to the house and we spent a ton of time throwing the football around...probably not the best thing the night before golf but it was too much fun to stop.
sunday morning (bright and early - well, without the bright - we woke up to pouring rain) we headed to mt. horeb for the father's day golf tourny (our 4th year!). we were delayed a bit but it ended up being very nice - we shot 43 in the chapman formatted event but left a lot of strokes on the course. putting killed us, tee to green we were respectable. anyway, after dad and brooks hit the road calvin took a nap and i got a chance to lay ill and watch the us open. rory mcilroy is the real deal at 22 years old. he has all the game in the world and is an infinitely better person than what's his name. anyway, after spending the afternoon with cali and r i got out for a quick 5 miles to/at/and home from elver park. we are both signed up for the rcu charity classic 10km in ec this saturday and i guess that inspired me. i ran a hard 1 mile loop on the hilly course...this usually takes me 8 minutes at regular training pace but i ran a 6:45 last night. it was dark so i think i could have been 15 seconds or so faster. i'm not really sure what that means except i was able to shave 1:15 off and felt good doing so.
i always feel like i need a time target when i do a foot race. i'm trying to decide what that goal time should be. hmm.
happy monday.
