Last couple of days / next couple of days

Friday – 0

Unfortunately I could not get to the annual summer Friday run & splash as I had other engagement – work. I had to get into work early this day.

Saturday – 13

Decided to run down to Greenhaven - my bike loop - started out early because of traffic concerns on Pequot Trail and Route 2. Happen to come across a fox, not of the lady type, but the actual. The lady types are usually on beach runs (Hi Julie). While on Greenhaven road I happen to come across a pack of bikers (8 to 10) – hard to explain, but when you are out early biking/running the comradely among people who share interests/activities in common with you is impressive, as we passed, everyone provided words of encouragement. Ok, after the group hug, back to running. Coming to the end of Mechanic Street I decided to go into the Westerly Park (looking for follow runner Beth) than out along Canal/White Rock Road across the bridge back into CT on Route 2, back home. The last half mile or so I started to hear squishy sound – this was from my Asics as I was soaked head to toe because of the humidity. Funs run when done early as some of these roads are heavy traveled.

Sunday – 10 barefoot on the beach back to TS house

The plan was bike the track I ran on Saturday and do a light run on the beach. Woke up early to a light rain – decided to forgo the bike ride. I’m not a fan of biking in the rain. Because of the overcast in the morning our beach day started later than usual. This was a concern of mine as we arrived and low tide had already passed. Now the tide was coming in which meant running in thicker/heaver sand. Started out not knowing how long I was going to go – just felt like running – as I was coming up to the Westerly town beach I was thinking someone would come from behind and join me (5k or gazelle and family) – no luck. Decided to run back to TS house AGAIN. Turned around at TS house and thought – why did you do this – as this run was work in that the sand was thick/heavy. I was not enjoying this run other than a seeing of a fox (of the other type) or two (Hi Julie). I was coming back along Westerly town beach when all of a sudden something hits me from behind – Gazelle takes me down from behind. He just texted me looking for a beach run – go figure. Handed me water (which was needed) rounded up Matthew and told Mark where he was going. Mark decided to stay at the beach – good decision on his end because the group in front of the Walkers was impressive – who the wish one? So the last two miles I had some much needed company/conversation. Matthew once again wouldn’t stop talking (sarcasm). Thanks Jeff and Matthew for the last half of this run as the sand was thick/heavy and work. Jump in the water for a quick dip and took a nap (nice).
