They all can't be "easy" runs.

10.2 miles. Hood route to legacy trail to colonia and back. 10:45 am start. very hot. I may never learn to start running earlier. I'm still a bit sore from pressure washing my mom and dad's fence yesterday. I don't have much shoulder exercise in my life. We stayed out late fishing at blackburn point bridge last night. I have fished there many times (My hobby was fishing before it was running), but I have never fished there from the land. My boat repair is almost done, and since the kids are excited about fishing right now, and I find myself on a more flexible schedule, everything is lining up to fish more, right? Not so fast, my friend. They have officially closed all boat ramps in the city of Sarasota. I'm sure the Venice boat ramps will close soon. They even have rules for social distancing of boats! Like, the boats have to be xx' apart! WHY? Can we give Covid 19 to BAIT FISH NOW? 

7 am: 3.5 miles. Hood route.

8 pm: 7.6 miles down memory lane. Sarasota memorial hospital to Osprey ave. to Bahia Vista to Orange to Bayfront Park, along the marina, through Golden Gate Point, over the Ringling Bridge and back. Man, I miss the Ringling Bridge run. Red and pink skies at sunset, changing effort running up and down the bridge, just good feelings. I used to do this run @ 3 times per week about 5 years ago. Now I do it so infrequently, I get totally nostalgic. Faster days back then. 

5.5 miles. hood route. 7 am start. I wanted more miles, but I was feeling a bit baloon-headed out there. 

3.5 miles. hood route. 7 am start. 

4.6 miles. Ringling Bridge Run with Tommy at 5 pm. Didn't have the magic sunset like Monday. There were big winds, with white caps on the bay. But I ran with my kid, which is awsome. He makes me run faster than I want to, and I make him run longer than he wants to. Since the whole state is on a stay at home order for the next month, I'm glad we had this time. 

7.75 miles. Hood route to legacy trail over the SWOM Bridge and back. 7:30 am start. Then I did some work. then I pressure washed my dad's other fence. Then I went back to work. It was a remarkably productive day for a guy under a stay at home order. 

3.5 miles. hood route. 7:15 am start. a bit cooler out. 

10.7 miles. Hood Route to Legacy Trail, over the SWOM Bridge, to Colonia and back the same way. LOTS of people walking, running, cycling on the trail this morning. With everything else closed, it is the only game in town for exercise. The variety of songs that popped into my head was crazy - Motley Crue Kickstart my heart, The Go-Gos Our lips are sealed, Led Zep Fool in the rain, Ben Folds Still fighting it, Smashing Pumpkins Geek USA, Weezer Only in Dreams, and a bunch more I can't remember right now. I really need to organize my mental playlist. 

So, this is now my biggest week of mileage this year. So that's something.
