A Week Off

I will say this first -- I'm a little disappointed in the TRY turnout at the Boilermaker. C'mon people, this is perhaps the most fun "normal" race you can take part in anywhere and its just an hour down the thruway. The start was even managed well this year...so no more excuses! This should be a yearly celebration run. Utica has the long distance running hall of fame and one of the best races in the country. Please do what you can to ALWAYS take part...let's keep a good local thing going.

Today:
A week off from running and, of course, a chance of some storms to ruin our fun. But no matter the weather, we are heading to Aaron and Kelly's house on the south shore of Oneida Lake for some water based fun. (If it rains we'll have to stay out of the water, of course.) They will also be hosting a picnic and will be providing all the goodies. All you need to do is bring your swimsuit, some water shoes, some bug spray and actually that's it. (Let me know if you are going and I'll provide directions.)

This is especially intended for those of you who want to try out kayaking or canoeing and never get a chance. We should have 3-4 kayaks and 1 canoe...so there will be plenty of opps to get out there and paddle a little and see if you like it. Also some tubing behind a jetski will be available for the more adventurous. (I think I'm already too beat up to try that.)

So, come on out and enjoy a rare TRY week off. :-) (Back to the grind, next week.)
