Dog Days

The Dog Days are upon us! This is last week's tale of whoa: Tuesday - ok training run/swim is met with news that Brustolon Buick wants another $1400 to repair an air-conditioner that they already 'fixed' (the week before, for $1100). Wednesday is spent fretting over the $1100 lost and waiting out the hottest day in Southern New England ever - but looking forward to Thursday's Triathlon. Thursday - still blistering hot - Triathlon cancelled due to extreme heat and pending thunderstorms. Feeling better about life Friday (despite 8:51 min/mile pace run with Larry) and Saturday until wife brings up comparison with Mr. Burns from the Simpsons. Sunday: depression. Today, still feeling below average, but getting in 7:39 min/mile pace run with Tingly helps. Maybe tomorrow I can get my intervals in and aim my sites on the Battle of Stonington run on the 22nd.
