We had a stormy, rainy day here in Taft. Throughout the course of a year, these kinds of days come infrequently. I would say we enjoy sunshine more than 300 days of each year. I did not mind having to run through heavy winds and rain, but with the aches in my left knee area and hip, I ran only three miles. This week I ran a total of 50 miles, which was at least 10 miles less than I ran during any other week of the year. My tally now stands 893 miles of running over the past 100 consecutive days. I may lower my weekly totals for a while until my pain subsides. I’d like to keep the record of continuous running days going, and I will run as long as I don’t feel that I’m damaging my joints. I run slow and steady.
With the stormy weather outside, we had a lot of noise in the housing unit. These days are not optimal for writing. I wrote two blogs in the morning. Then I began reading The Speed of Trust, by Stephen M.R. Covey, who is the son of one of my favorite authors.
President Obama was scheduled to speak on 60 Minutes, and I would have liked to watch. I was in bed by 6 p.m., however, and sleeping by 6:30. This has been my least productive weekend of 2009. I’m not proud of it.
