Going with the Crowes

Here we are on the road again.
I have the Black Crowes by my side and I'm on my way.
Listening to a couple of the latter tracks off Lions, which was given to me (to burn) by a nice guy named Gary who passed away a few years ago. He was in his 50s and had leukemia and was one of the senior sales execs at work. We had some musical tastes in common and as I recall he played guitar. So the Crowes, Clapton, and even RHCP were some things we could discuss in passing.
I can listen to "Cosmic Friend" and "Cypress Tree" just fine but if I hear "Lay It All On Me," I'd get weepy thinking of my grandfather (because I'm pretty sure I listened to it several times the morning of his funeral), so I skip it. I then put on some of those B-Sides from the Band/Tall album.
It's windier today and cooler -- it's in the 70s and it'll be a fine day for a run. I'm sure I'll get hot and sweaty but not as bad as the past two weeks. More and more folks on the highway today but I had no problems with traffic or anything like that.
Yesterday I was out but was able to squeeze in an upper body session at night. All my 30 bench press reps are at 185 lbs but I can't do them in sets of 10 yet. My weight is also down to 156 so the running is paying off. Strengthens my resolve. If I can keep up these routines and keep from gorging perhaps I can get down to last year's weight by Triathlon time. On Friday last week when I ran I was either cramping up or tightening up. It added 30 seconds on to the run (I didn't stop but I slowed down a bit) -- we'll see if that reoccurs.
Made the Albany Street light in a felt swoop and I'm tired but I'm good to go.
Thank you for reading.
