Yesterday I took the day off from work to have my annual breakfast at the Saratoga Race Track with a former co-worker. We have been doing this every summer for 29 years. The food and the prices have changed (now it’s a buffet) but it is always a fun time.

My friend always like to stop and taste the spring water (which most think is gross tasting)

Since Saratoga is more than half way to the marina and the weather was perfect, I continued north. My hubby was in our boat waiting.

view of Red Rock Bay – 1st time this summer here.  The lake is so calm on a Monday.

this used to be our favorite dock – met some nice people from NJ next to us who have a similiar boat

a view and a good book 🙂

It would have been perfect weather to run but I ran on Sunday and just didn’t bring my running gear. At the end of the day, I kinda regretted it since my hubby & I drove two separate cars.

Instead, I decided to run after work today. I chose Washington Park for its scenic value. I usually run there during the spring to view the tulips but it is pretty in the summer, as well.

lots of annual gardens

It wasn’t a good run but it was a 3.5 mile run with lots of walking – too much walking.  My foot felt fine (different shoes & socks cured the blister.) But I am lethargic and can’t get it back.

I guess I’ll keep trying.

Happy Running!
