i feel like myself again...

well, my post 12 hr funk is over and i'm beginning to feel like myself again. the brick on saturday felt unreasonably difficult, so i took yesterday off (and slept in to boot). i woke up this morning feeling zero motivation to swim, but once i was in and the sun came up it was golden. the atttrition rate has been high, so there were only two of us in the lane. nice. coach dick was telling me all the things i do wrong but that is nothing new. boy, he always feels the need to remind me that i suck. i guess it's ok to suck if you are keeping up with all the fast people in the class. thanks dick!

13 miles or running tonight (or so). then maybe we'll hit the trek store and pick up my shoes...maybe. i need to book a hotel for pigman (less than two weeks away). work is picking up a little bit too.

it's august and i'm starting to feel some urge to get our house projects done. i think after moving we needed a month or so just to hang out and recover, but now i'm starting to see things i want to work on.

paint the exterior woodwork around the doors and stain the deck are the big ones but there is some plant/dead tree removal i'd like to do in the next month ahead of the city of madison street crew brush collections. we still haven't hung a picture and our new couch is coming thursday...which means the basement will start to be a project on our minds. then there is our bedroom.......patience i guess?

time to break some rocks.
