When I was a kid my father used to sneak me sips of Narragansett. Nice to see an old New England standard still battling against the big boys and the micros.

On the Road again and I added a Beer of the Week section
Wow what an absolutely crazy 4 days. Friday involved picking the rosters for 4 youth basketball teams, one being my daughter Hannah's. Saturday and Sunday was refereeing and more refereeing. I looked on line to see what the average distance coverered when refereeing a high school game and it said between 3 and 5. Well I couldnt really see that so I put it in at 2 miles per game and 2.5 for this one beast of a game. I say beast only in that these were two of the best 17 year old teams in the New England and my partner and I ran our asses off. Fun game to do though, lots of action above the rim. Now generally before I started up running a month or so ago, the next day I would be doing my best Walter Brennan imitation limping around the house but I have to say that both Sunday and today I felt pretty damn good.
So tonite I get home a bit late and after doing all the games I decide that I will do a short 2.3 miles. I was little concerned as I had tightened up a bit as the day progressed sitting in the office chair for a large part of the day, coupled with almost a 90 minute extended ride home but I went out regardless. As I started the back of my legs were keeping me in check, but as I finished the later part come over a small hill I was pretty happy with my run. 8.25 pace and I thought after last week's run that it was going to be closer to 8. I guess I have to think that the 7.49 pace was an error somewhere either distance or the watch. Oh well it gives me something to shoot for, breaking 8 again.
Ok now to the libation part of the blog. I finally added a Beer of the Week section to the left, along with a past winners section. Just a place to show what I am drinking at the moment, a different beer related type of post or just a beer that I tried and liked enough to take the time to add it. If you have one that you particularly like, please send it on over and I will happily try it out.
