maybe all i need is a shot in the arm...

11 miles (at around 6:50 to 7:00 pace) last night at the arboretum. what started as a rainy, chilly run ended in some filtered sun and a great day to be out. this was a good one. and my legs feel fine this morning.

so i've been trying to cut back on the coffee. going without on some days, and for the most part it has been ok. i was feeling like a) i was becoming a little too dependent on it and b) it was contributing to my not feeling well. whatever. there are mornings that i still dream of starbucks, and this is one of them. so, if i drink two bottles of water maybe i'll allow myself a small dark roast. that sort of sounds like 'if you finish your vegetables you will get desert.' i guess you can grow up but down deep you stay the same...

severe storms are forcasted tonight. maybe we'll get giant hail so the cycle of every single roof in madison (except ours) gets replaced over the next 12 months can continue.

happy thursday.
