Cool at last!
I have no ground to stand on in the area of complaining about the weather right now. I was in temperate California until last Thursday and only had to deal with the heat for a few days. But this is still a welcome respite - today I don't think it will get over 80 degrees. It feels really nice and I know it helped me on my run this morning. I still am a lazy bum and need to start getting up at least by 7:00 every morning but right now it is so hard! This morning I got out of bed around 7:30 and started running around 7:45 or so. I did my Wash Park run and completed it in 1:11, which is about a minute and a half faster than normal. I believe it is a long 8 miles. Nothing too interesting happened, I had a lot of stuff on my mind so it went by fairly quickly and I came home on autopilot. Sometimes I seriously wonder if I will not end up in the wrong place, as I hardly remember how I got home when I get there!
Now I am working at my favorite coffee house in Denver. This is about a 5-10 minute walk from my old apartment so I used to come here all the time but haven't been in quite a while. It is such a nice place. I've been here for about 2 hours now and I have cranked out a lot of work, which is nice. Even though I have spent less hours at work this week, I am so much more productive when I am not miserable. There is the most adorable Bernese Mountain Dog sitting outside here. I am totally obsessed with this breed, I think that they are completely adorable! They must shed like crazy, though. The one outside is the most hyper one I have ever seen.
Anyhoo, I digress. I am heading off to get a haircut and color in a few minutes, then on the way home I'm going to stop by the grocery store. Then I will work for a while longer and see Matt for a little while, and then my plan is that when he goes to the baseball game with his friend T., I will run again and possibly do a little more work. I need to lift weights at some point again this century, so I think that on Thursday after I go to lunch with a few friends I might head to the gym - either then or Friday. While I am at home (hopefully for a while of course) I want to get back into lifting once or twice a week, and I would also like to start doing more cross training.
Anyway I am off to enjoy the cool weather!

Don't have too much to say other than it is obvious that you are sooooo much happier when you are not travelling! Enjoy your time at home!
