Well it took me just shy under 4.5 hours to get home. Happy Friday.

Monday

Whelp.

My goal of running at least one mile a day lasted 31 days.

But I have a good excuse!

Going to miss this view.

The last week of moving is the most stressful.

Little more organized - and still lots of room!

And with tonight’s 3.1 mile run, I'm retiring this pair of GTS 17s with 300.45 miles.

Don’t worry - I have more.

Froze my ass off on today’s run. Brrr. Good thing I checked the weather before I left, otherwise I wouldn’t have known to wear my running tights, and that would have been miserable without.

Managed a hair under five and a half miles (5.44) and only took one walking break (and a quick pee break.)

After two weeks, I’ve now ran 40.06 miles for the month. Not to shabby for only being the 12th of January.

So many bottles to get rid of.

I tried getting rid of these on Craigslist and I only had one interested person - she picked up some just not very many- the rest went to the recycling place.

It’s a really good feeling when you can just rid of a bunch of crap.

Not a bad run.

Or a bad week of running.

17.9 down - 982.1 to go!

Slow goings.

I managed to run 758.17 miles last year.

While I didn’t have any specific goals in mind - other than RUN AGAIN - I am a tad disappointed in my mileage.

But yet, when factoring in my first years of running, 2018 was my third best year.

My goals for 2019:
1. Run at least one mile every day
2. Run 1,000 miles for the year (I did 1020 in 2008 so it’s doable)

So today it begins - 3.92 down, 996.08 to go.

8) Black Hammer: Library Edition Volume 1 - Jeff Lemire (2/10 - 2/20)
7) The Umbrella Academy: Apocalypse Suite - Gerard Way (2/2 - 2/4)
6) Good Omens - Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman (1/29 - )
5) Bone Music - Christopher Rice (1/22 - 1/29)
4) Winter Of The Witch - Katherine Arden (1/9 - 1/22)
3) New X-Men Volume 1: E Is For Extinction - Grant Morrison (1/7 - 1/9)
2) Past Tense - Lee Child (1/3 - 1/7)
1) The Fated Sky - Mary Robinette Kowal (12/28 - 1/3)

Enjoying some of the extra @beecherscheese I had left after making 🍺🧀🥔 soup last week.

Testing. Because something isn’t working again.

ETA: So this worked, but picture posts won't. Dammit!

This face. ❤️🐶

I’m that guy.

This morning during a meeting, my glasses broke. It looks like the hinge broke inside. Luckily I was able to make it through the day with no issues, but I did almost lose the arm on my last bus.

So now I have medical tape holding my glasses together.

I’m that guy.

It was also really hot again today. And guess what - it’ll be even hotter tomorrow.

I really miss when summer meant high 70s...

And in other news, I think someone stole my walking sprinkler. It’s gone missing.

Added some extra flair to my office at work. It’s like the empty space was waiting for this flag.

And yes - the thumbtacks are appropriately colored. Eternal blue; forever green.

I tried. Gear all looked good except my dry suit seals were all rotted. Lame.

Not my greatest of runs but I still managed a decent long run even though it was 77° outside.

Managed 19.99 for the week - whoops - just barely short of my 20 mile/week goal.

In theory I should start to taper down this week since I have a race in seven days. That won’t be too hard since it is more difficult getting longer distances in during the week.

This is Olive giving me the “it’s hot let me in!” look.
