Not my cup of tea

by Tom

A couple of Fridays ago, I went for my Friday run around noon. I didn't foresee either of the two challenges I would face. The air show hadn't officially started, but nobody would have notices because the beach was packed with spectators (most of whom are not aware of the "code" of the bike path - that is to be aware that it is actually a bike path.) In addition to this, most people were fixated on the sky, making it difficult for them to walk straight or stay out of the way. A few close calls with bikes were not a surprise. Aside from this, the temperature was over 90 degrees and the last 3 miles of my 8 mile run were something else. It seems that summer training is not my cup of tea.
