Avery is vacationing in Brainerd with Amy and her family.  I took the opportunity to take care of some errands.  It wasn’t my imagination that my left front tire was low.  Again.  It was down to 11 pounds.  TiresPlus didn’t have time to fix it while I waited and I couldn’t leave the car, so they added air and I made an appointment for first thing Monday morning.  Gracie to the Vet&Back:  106 minutes, 5.75 miles, 18:28/3.2, HR=124.

My left hip is causing me more pain in the wee hours of the morning than I can ignore for much longer.  I’m grateful the fix is to get up and move around.  I discussed it with my Trainer this morning.  I think we’ve ruled out a joint issue.  I’ve got some stretching exercises to try before I go to bed and hopefully that will take care of it.

Gracie-LuceLine West Out&Back:  79 minutes, 4.21 miles, 18:57/3.2, HR=96.

Early Mass.  The Sunday paper and some snoozing in the hammock.  Great!  My refrigerator is doing the exact same thing it did before it was “fixed”.  Verizon Ozone as USB modem with Fujitsu P1620 is slow, but it works.  Cigar Ride:  109 minutes, 25.73 miles, 14.1 mph, HR=116.

Gracie-Stubbs/Maxwell Loop:  103 minutes, 5.57 miles, 18:29/3.2, HR=111.  The neighbor invited us to a party at his main house.  We had a good time!  His garden is absolutely amazing.

Avery and I made homemade macaroni and cheese with cheese from Bongard’s Creamery store.

G’ma Lucy’s funeral was really nice.  Finally!  I’ve got the Dog Room webcam automatically uploading to Flickr.

I picked Jeff up at the airport at 6:00 am.  We stopped at my house to let the dogs out for a bit.  Drove to Walker and spent a few hours with my Dad.  Came home to pick up Steve.  Drove to Belle Plaine for G’ma Lucy’s service at the Funeral Home.
