Week ending June 19, 2010

On Sunday I ran the Garden of the Gods 10-miler. Then I got in the car with my dog, Grumble Jones, and started driving to New Hampshire and Mount Washington. On Monday afternoon I got to Bloomington, IN and stayed with my friends Jimmy and Heather. Jimmy and I went out for a run and got caught in a rainstorm. Jimmy stopped at one point to look at the sky – the sky was turning a greenish color and the clouds were swirling. A few minutes later tornado sirens started screaming. We ran to a nearby IU parking garage and waited out the storm. And what a storm it was. Tornados in Bloomington, hail, and downed trees everywhere.
I didn’t run on Thursday (the day I drove from PA to MA), which was not only my first day off in June, but my first day off since May 15. On Friday I ran 4 miles on the Watatic Trail – a cute little trail in Ashburnham, MA that I used to run a lot when I lived there. Saturday was the Mount Washington Road Race (another blog). 56 miles for the week.
