#$*$%#&! COLD!!!
NO PAINE-TO-PAIN FOR THE TURTLE
Sunday, September 25, 2016

If all had gone well around now I'd either have finished the Paine-to-Pain Trail Half Marathon or be close to finishing... 13+ miles on an almost perfect early-autumn morning.

Instead I spent the morning driving back to Albany and am now rapidly demolishing a box of Puffs Plus with Lotion tissues... because last night almost non-stop sneezing kicked in and I fairly quickly found my sinuses draining more fluid than it would seem possible (if I hadn't been in this state in the past... but then, I have.)

At least I'm not running a fever (like I was two years ago on this same weekend...) - though I am pretty aggravated, both because this dang cold is miserable and going all the way down there without being able to run the race. Bleah!

TUG BOATS ON PARADE
10.1 Mile Ride Through the Corning Preserve
Friday, September 9, 2016

Funny thing is, I even said "always take the camera" as I got ready to head down to the riverfront for a short easy ride before my drive to Liverpool... and if I'd actually done so, I could have gotten some pictures of the tugboat parade heading upriver to Waterford for the annual Tugboat Roundup. As it stands I'll have to settle for having seen the tugboats cruising getting ready to depart (right after I arrived) and cruising toward the Federal Lock in Troy.
