Summer Weekend

So we almost saw the balloons in the air Sunday morning in Wakefield. It was still a fun trip: we did manage to see the last balloon in the air giving rides, and then watched the model airplane hobbiest fly planes in the air. The kids liked the petting zoo - amazing how little ones react to animals. The day ended with a 2 mile round-trip hike from our 'hood to the Mystic-Noank library for a little music and ice cream with some of our neighbors.

In retrospect, I should have ran the 2 miles - since I'll again be struggling with getting a decent weekly mileage. I did go out for a nice run Monday - 5.3 miles, but have developed a sore throat and low grade cold feel the last few days - similar to last month. Hopefully this one won't turn into the z-pac requiring sinus infection that last months did. It may just be a passin virus since the Nasonex doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. Anyway, I skipped my biking yesterday and then did the run/swim today - since it's pretty low impact: good for 2.7 miles running and 3 eq.miles in the water. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow and be good for the round-trip bike.
