Tough Decision
Monday, July 6, 2015

Despite my knee mostly behaving itself during Saturday's run (albeit with me running very slowly and carefully with the knee strapped into one of my heavy braces) I've decided to bail on the New Paltz Summer XC Series races this year... while I probably could do them (albeit running very slowly and carefully with my knee strapped into one of my heavy braces...) it seems like a better idea to take things a bit easier and hope for a quicker overall recovery. It's a long way to drive for four Mondays just to limp my way through races where I'll have to run poorly... plus I'm more likely to be stupid and over do it at a race, so waiting a while yet before doing another one probably makes the most sense.

Maybe next summer... sigh...

CREDIT DUE...
Wednesday, July 1, 2015

This morning I drove up to Saratoga Springs to have an oil and filter change done on my car at Saratoga Honda, the dealership where I bought it a little over a year ago. This is the third time I've had work done there, and so far they are three for three - the work has been done quickly (30 minutes today, and I've never been there more than an hour) and every interaction I've had with them has been very professional. I've never had a problem with any of their work, but I have every confidence that if there's a problem they'd do everything possible to resolve it.

It's a longer drive to get there than it would be to go to the local dealerships - but it's well worth the extra time spent on the road. I recommend Saratoga Honda 100%!
