Bricks and Wimp Walks

Yesterday got up bright and early, and after a breakfast of Champions (pop tarts and coffee) went into Manhattan for our last group bike and run. I was a little late, but it was worth it as I found a parking garage for $10. And the dude was in no hurry and let me pull over to the side and take my time getting the bike out of Jumper One and assembled. I was a little worried about the garage thing b/c I had my picnic basket, chair, hiking bag and change of clothes also in the back with the bike, but they were undisturbed. Did my two full loops of Central Park and then one hour run. I'm slow, but consistent, and made it up Harlem Hill twice, again slow but without stopping and I was still able to breathe at the top. Breathing is good.

After that, I drove up to the Alpine boat basin in NJ to meet some dance peoples for a leader proclaimed "Wimp Walk". IE a hike not at the pace of a certain Corkman currently doing 20 miles a day on the PCT (waves west). We did the 2.8 mile trail to the Giant Stairs, and then back, with a couple stops for snacks and basking in the sun on rocks.

Afterward we had a bbq at the picnic area, while at the pavilion above us (where we have our biannual picnic/irish dance) there was a wedding reception. Drove back home around sunset just in time for Robin Hood :) Tivo'd it anyway, just in case.

Today I am having a lazy day, sitting around watching baseball, playing on Chuck, and planning to go to church at 7:15.

And oh, katstale, that actor from Ark of Truth that I swore I knew? It's the diner dude in Eureka!
