4.42 mi. I haven't run that far in 20 years and I feel pretty good. Guess I need to run faster or further next time.
Nice job!!! That deserves 4.5 beers! :beer:

Isn't there still one across from the Cumberland Farms on the corner of 4 and 69? I know there was one there 15 years ago!
Yes there is but like he said, not the way he goes from work.

Back from the beach. Beautiful day to hang out there. Waiting for pizza to arrive and some quiet time when the kids go to sleep. Though that'll probably be late since they slept most of the ride home from the shore.

Getting ready to go put a new roof on my fathers garage and porch. Not looking forward to it but someone has to do it! At least there will be beer involved. PS after we get back on the ground.

That beach is far more beautiful than where we went. We went to Silver Sands Beach in Milford, CT. There wasn't a whole lot of sand...

But a lot of shells. And when the tide went out, the sandbar is revealed that leads to that island (the island is closed at this time of year as breeding grounds for birds, however).

I don't know much about CT beaches but I plan on finding out more this summer. Though the drive from our part of the state isn't so great...

They're sandier, but they're also 3x as long of a drive (and I hate driving on I95). I don't have a/c in my car... I try to stick close to home.

Rocky Neck in Niantic(a haul for you) has a nice sandy beach, but is fairly small and gets really packed on weekends(people putting blankets almost on top of yours so you can't walk crowded) and they usually stop letting people in around lunch time on hot weekends due to over crowding.

If you do find a hidden gem of a nice uncrowded sandy beach, let me know.

Don't you have access to a lake nearby? I'd take that over a drive to the beach any day. I prefer fresh water for swimming anyway.

Just finished mowing the back yard while the kids played in the pool. They are trying to talk me into taking them out for lunch. I might give in.

My grandparents' cottage is 15 min away so yeah, I have access to fresh water without crowds. But it's nice to take the kids somewhere different and they've enjoyed checking out the shells and wildlife at the shore. I hate crowds so there's no way I'll be heading to the shore on weekends (and I think I'll skip Fridays in the future).

Jeff - Looked it up and google maps believes Rocky Neck is about 1 hr 36 min so maybe we'll try that sometime.. perhaps camp down there to make it worthwhile. But on weekdays...

I need to get my butt in gear. Kids are leaving soon and all they packed for themselves were toys.

Jones beach is really nice....I haven't been there in years...the sand is super soft....broad beaches, pretty nice facilities...really a gem right on the Atlantic....for a State Park. Even for me, living right by the Westchester side of the Tappan Zee Bridge, it only took about 70 minutes to get home and that was on a Friday evening with some traffic.

Got my buddy's daughter to watch the girls for a couple of hours while I went into the woods with her dad to mountain bike!! Now I'm bring the girls over to the fil's for a sleepover tonight. Can you say Bachelor for night??? Woohoo. lol.

Morning everyone.
