27:55, 3 cubic yards and 11 runs

BUN RUN:
Yesterday was the third race in the Spring Series and I pulled a 27:55. I know for a fact that I would have been faster, but I decided last minute to bring my sometimes running partner, Molly.

Mile 1 she was off the front
Mile 2 she was even with me, but getting distracted
Mile 3 she was lagging hard – no final 3-block kick for me

She likes to run and has been on the trail for 40 minutes before. Maybe it was the hills and all the people. Poor little dog. The whole family came in support and it was a fun adventure. We were all disappointed to learn there were no Schlotzsky’s sammichs at their event.

COMPOSTIN’
Sunday afternoon brought the spreadin’ of manure and compost…three cubic yards of it. That’s a lot of shit to shovel (and still some left). When Mom visits in a couple weeks she’s gonna help me plant a bed (unbeknownst to her).

TWO GRANNIES
Yesterday wasn’t all work. I got to watch the SOX score 11 runs. It made me reminisce about the 2005 world series and Paulie’s Grand Salami in game two. GO SOX! Big series with the A’s coming up.

At the re-built Comiskey, SOX management left in the old seats where Scott Podsednik’s homer and Paulies Grand Slam (above) landed.
