Well, it’s another Monday, so let’s check in on the management team. Phoebe has been lounging as comfortably as ever this week:<\/p>\n

She’s good at finding the sun. And she’s intent on her naps:<\/p>\n

We went for a nice little bike ride on Saturday. We are good at this route. We manage to time the hardest part of the route with the hottest part of the day. One particular stretch has a deceptive little hill to climb, and the critical part of those three miles there is no shade to enjoy. Also, the county put convection oven elements in the road’s asphalt through there, so you get baked from both directions. <\/p>\n

After you finish the climb, though, you get a fun two-mile descent and you eventually find yourself looking at this view:<\/p>\n

Today, today has been a perceptively slow day. And I’m not talking about my run, har-har. It was my first run in seven weeks. Mostly it was a deliberate choice. And then I slightly rolled an ankle trying to avoid a cat. It was a minor thing, but since no one is chasing me, it seemed wise to rest it. This weekend I guess I decided that I’d rested enough. So I set out for a little one-mile run today, because I want to go fast again. <\/p>\n

I haven’t been fast since high school or so, and I never will be again, but I can set some baselines and goals. And my new one-mile baseline is slow enough that I can, hopefully, cut out big chunks at a time. So here’s to tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
