Winter is taking a long time to say goodbye this year. It rained today and is supposed to rain more this week. People are still talking about trying to get up to the snow.
For me rain mostly means my car gets a natural bath, drivers at work wear slickers over their usual outfits, and Zeus has to spend his day in "the box" in the living room. Today it meant that I ran in the rain! That's right I didn't let the moisture deter me from getting out there and doing my running! I even enjoyed the drops on my face and hair. I even did better this time than I did on Sunday. I ran all of my intervals and never got a stitch in my side! I am sore in ways I've never been sore, but it all feels rewarding and great.
To top the day off we went out to dinner where I had a super yummy Apple Harvest salad filled with apples and strawberries and a side of Leeky Mashed Potatoes, yep I said leeky, so delicious.
And I got my official "Big Sur Half Marathon" sweatshirt in the mail today. Even though I'm not running the half marathon, just a related race, having the sweathshirt in hand is an added incentive to see it through. What kind of chump would I be if I had the sweatshirt but didn't follow through and run the race.
A few other notes on life to catch you up on....
~ Zeus is at a plateau with his weight gain, only a pound a week lately, so he is now 59 pounds. However he is still growing. His body has gotten taller and longer, noted by Molly's ability to stand up under him and his ability to get his toes on the counter and his face into the sink to lick dirty dishes or to reach the items already shoved to the back of the counter. I wonder how much weight it will take to fill out all of the stretching that he is doing?
~ I am trying very hard to get my way through Wuthering Heights. Its good, but I have gotten so used to the pace of modern novels that I keep getting lost in the tempo of the story. Not giving up though.
~ Work is still going great! The other woman I worked with left at the beginning of the month. I am really enjoying all of the work that is keeping me busy. Metal prices are down (who would have ever thought I would care or know about such a thing) but the great news is that volume is up, so things are not slow! Great news at work recently is that our existing relationship with Tesla Motors is going to pay off now that Tesla and Toyota and partnering up at the Numi plant.
Well I hear dishes rattling in the sink, time to go load the dishwasher and send Zeus away. I hope you are all having a great week!
