In case you didn't know, or just don't pay any atttention, I went to the Oregon Coast for Memorial Day Weekend, spending some QT with Cuz Andy and the V.P. (Very Pregnant) Jody at the Rockaway Beach cabin. It was good times, mostly good weather (in fact, some perfect weather!), and as a whole, the weekend felt Far too short. If you care, you can see some pictures here

After a great week of training last week, I didn't go running at all over the weekend. Sure, I took a couple of nice, long beach walks, and was generally active -- except when hideously hungover Sunday morning -- but as usual I packed my running gear and fully intended to, but never did. No big deal, I guess. Anyway, today, after 4 days off, I went to Disco. Park for my "somewhere around 4.25 mile down to the lighthouse and back up" loop, and managed to but 40 minutes. This means I am still pathetically slow, but not As pathetically slow. I actually have Some measure of fitness now, which is encouraging. Hopefully, I keep this up
