About the Run: This was the first of what I assume will be many runs in this streak that I’ll kind of just want to get done. Not because I feel tired, but because I have a lot of stuff to do at home. You see, in preparation for our little bundle of joy in March, my wife and I are turning what was formerly our den, into a nursery for our daughter. We are currently in the home stretch of this project, but also at the place where all the big stuff, i.e. painting the walls and hanging a new chair rail, and now that little details seem to be never ending. As a matter of fact, at this moment, I am waiting for the floor to dry after being mopped so that I can tape it and then move on to painting the moulding.

As for my run, it was following a swim this afternoon of 3100 meters and preceding a spin on the trainer this evening of one hour. I went out pretty quick and actually had some bait in the form of a guy who was not super fast, wearing none other than tights, with yellow shorts over them! Anywho, after passing Senor Amarillo Pantalones Cortos I went on my way, briefly thinking about turning around when I hit the .5 mile mark, but kept going to one mile out.
