With a cold Hard Wind

Ok, where am I. 94 miles last week. All doubles except for Friday and Saturday. First marathon workout on Saturday in the refuge on the patrol road. It was windy as anyone who was out in NE on Saturday can attest. Good first marathon work though with a four mile warm up, then 6 sets of 4 minutes at 5:20 pace then 6 minutes at 6:20 pace which was a solid hour of decent paced effort, followed by a 4 mile cool down.

The resson I have not been blogging is because I made the final push to finish the Kitchen. It is now done done. At work we have three levels of done.

1 Done = 90% there
2 Completely Done = 95% complete
3 Done Done = 100% Released

The kitchen is level 3. I promised to post some pictures of the project so I will do so.

Here is what we had to work with.

After this I laid the tile floor with my dad but unfortunately neglected to take some pics of that fun time of peeling up three layers of linolium flooring, laying a new subfloor, cement board, then the tile. That was a good time.

Here is a picture of me this week doing the back splash. I am wearing that goofy fleece hat because the tilesaw is a wet saw, I cut the tiles in the garage, it is winter and your hands get so cold you wouldn't believe.
