Yesterday, Sara and Bev were shopping when I got back from my hike. I took the Grandog out to do its business. The little gal was barking her head off. It doesn't understand being left behind. I think it needs more time in the kennel and she will settle down. Good thing Maw maw wasn't there.

I went riding this morning. The day started cold and foggy. It wasn't easy to get out of the truck and get rolling. But Eric and Chris came. It made it easier to go when you have company. I have gotten tired of doing everything alone. Paul has been busy lately with things so he hasn't ridden much. Eric has been sick. I haven't seen or heard from Denis or Perry in a long time. Billy is working his shop a lot since this is Christmas. He had a lot of folks in there today. Maybe he made some sales. I am super pleased with the changes to my bike. That thing really rides good now. Those downhills that once were scary are nothing now. You can roll as fast as the bike will carry you. I should have bought a full suspension when I got that Marlin. I'll know better from now on.

Island Walk

I always try to help Rachael with Hubbard/Rockford if asked. They had me down for 3 days but at last minute asked for the other day. Work at Rockford is slow so working isn't hard, but not following my usual routine tired me out a bit.  I still had some work I could take care of up in Cullman. Some bushhog work and other little items but the high temps held me back a bit. I did ride my bike a little and got in some of my walking in addition to some chores. Max needed to be delivered to Charlotte, SC for his drum major camp. I volunteered to take him. I was glad to be able to perform this chore for him but the long trip up and back combined with extra heavy traffic in the Atlanta are, which extended to within 30 miles of Alabama, combined to really tire me out. There had been a problem with my left rear wisdom tooth for over a year, so I decided I should get it taken care of before I wound up isolated somewhere in PEI. The extraction didn't appear to be problematic until just be...

Altras

By
So I've gotten around to buying those Altra Zero Drop running shoes and have begun the transition program to get used to them. My only problem so far has been that sore gluteus muscle I got from the scooter falling on me. But I've managed two days of running and will continue to extend my distance until I get up to something near the training program for the Half Marathon. I don't know if Joe has signed us up for the run or not.
