Run Tom, Run

I played golf for the first time in about 2 years on Thursday. The clubs had not been touched once in those two years. Needless to say, the day was not too pretty. Somehow I have lost my 4 and 7 iron during my two year golf hiatus. How does that happen exactly? I'm reasonably confident that they were all present and accounted for when I stuffed them in the closet in my garage, but when I scoured the bag for my 7 it was not there. Oh well, probably wouldn't have made much of a difference anyway, although the 7 iron is my best club. There was a day when I could at least go out and play without making a fool of myself, but that day has long since past. Luckily for me we had 2 four person teams and scrambled. My team actually won and we somehow ended up using a few of my shots along the way. It was at least nice to be outside for the afternoon as opposed to sitting at my cube staring at a spreadsheet or Powerpoint deck.

Thursday evening I got back on the running wagon after being out sick for 10 days. 10 days is a long time without a run and although the cough and congestion was still in full swing, I could wait no longer. I think it must of done me some good because it is almost completely gone now. I made it 5 miles and then did 45 mins of trailing in Cameron today. It amazing how much you lose from being sick & no running for a week. Oh well, it's just good to be back on the road again. Thinking about starting up the biking again. Haven't really gotten back in the saddle much since breaking my leg last year. We'll see.

The Nance's and I headed out to The Ballpark for the Cards/Rangers game on Sunday and it was simply a beautiful day of baseball. The day was actually miserably hot, but the game was fabulous for any Cardinals fans - not so much for those lost souls cheering on the Rangers. The Cards batted around the order in both the first and second and went up 10-0 by the end of the 2nd. The final ended up being 13-2, so needless to say, I was quite pleased with the outcome. It was definitely a bit toasty though and I think I got too much sun. Oh yeah - Rolen picked up 3 more RBIs to put him at 67!!!

I can't seem to kick whatever it is that I've caught last week. I'm still coughing like crazy and feel like my head is twice its normal size. Work seemed a bit crazy today. I feel like I went 90 to nothing, but somehow ended the day with a longer to do list then what I started with. No bueno. Well - that's about all I have for tonite. Cheers.
