Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am an over thinker!

The above was on my mind as I was running near the golf course this morning. I used to play golf in high school, and I was terrible! I thought too much; my body was constantly battling my brain. Any guesses who won??

Early in our marriage, my husband convinced me to play in a couple’s golf league. The last year we played (many, many years ago), we won the league! Do you know how?!? I was pregnant, and my brain couldn’t over think my body, um, belly.

How is that for random musings while running?! :joy:

I ran this 5K course after dropping a kid at school. It was stickier outside than I thought it would be.

I do enjoy this view!

Ran 5k at the Ithaca 5&10. With not much training because of a broken hand, I took the first mile so slowly that there was almost no one behind me. Decided to pick it up and managed to get in at 34:45.

I don’t recall ever driving on Willow Ave to the golf course. Little did I know, the traffic sign where Willow Ave intersects the golf course then runs parallel to it to the clubhouse is actually a yield sign.
Sometimes when I’m running and coming upon a more dangerous intersection, I plan in my head well in advance for different scenarios … what will I do if I see a car going X speed at Y spot. Today as I was crossing Willow Ave in the crosswalk, I fully expected an oncoming car to at least slow down at the interaction (where I thought there was a stop sign), but that was not at all the case. I thought I was going to get hit.

At least I was able to enjoy this beautiful view!!

Saturday, in the Park

Many many people at the park doing all th usual park stuff and also inverted canoeing and rappelling from trees .

Not far into the run , I heard Home on the Range in the calliope-like sound of an ice cream truck. Meet everybody’s friend Enzo

Nonstop conversation for 10-15 minutes before another customer arrived and I slipped away with my scoop of mango and scoop of coconut gelato.
