March 25, 2017 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: slightly less windy, slightly less hot

Comments:
Slept 'til 8 again, hung out in Gramps' room for a bit, then around noon decided to get out. Ran just like yesterday, except no annoying foot bridge. Then, I cut it short, turning north off the Beach Drive before the main drag.

Ran the really nice 2nd Ave back -- really nice neighborhood -- then ran north along the Railroad Rd. I actually found a "park" just north of there, but all it was was a short wooded boardwalk, then a "trail" (paved) through some trees. Ran that out and back, then returned to Railroad.

Felt a bit more tired today. Wore a long sleeve shirt for the first half (Patagonia tech), since I was plenty sun-zapped from yesterday, then doffed for the second half, which was mostly overcast.

Got back to the home, and did x6 strides outside the grounds. Wanted to jump in the pool, after, but I guess it's closed.

Same paces today, except first mile was faster:L

"9:35" (strides, walking around)

Felt "effortless", breathing wise, but legs were heavy. The concrete is taking its toll...

Rest of the day:
- no weights, but I scouted the fitness center and will try tomorrow
- to Long Beach with mom for food; FINALLY tried Darwell's, a place featured on "Triple D", that I've run past about two dozen times. SUPER-good.
- Went to the casino with Gramps. Hung out while he played poker for about 90mins. Saw him cash in $2000 for chips...and cash out about $1900...so, not bad. :-p Had dinner there after, which was solid.
- Watched the Ducks CRUSH Kansas! Watched while pounding some Lil Smack beers and doing a bunch of stretching, hoping for a longer-faster run tomorrow.
