Where have I been?

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. Like everybody, my summer has been full of ups and downs.

• Ups - Still running (registered for the Newport Marathon on Oct 18th), great family vacations to Smuggler's Notch and New York, and a fun weekend in New York for just Karen and I (even the rain couldn't ruin it!)
  
• Downs - Really only one big one, our beloved Gracie became sick with two different diseases and in a very short period of time became ill enough where it wouldn't have been fair for us to continue her suffering.
  

I've been running so much this summer that I would hate to fill this space with links. If you are interested you can visit Garmin Connect and search for activities by user wljcr. As I'm now back to blogging I'll start posting the runs again as they happen.

Hope you all had a great summer, talk to you soon!
