RT #425

It wasn't too long ago when I needed the same stain-ingrained gray sweatpants in order to stay warm but it's warm and pleasant this morning and all I need is a tee & shorts. That's all.

Will likely finish Spoken from the Front today. Wild read. I ought to start reading more true war stories about Afghanistan and Iraq. I picked it up the day before Memorial Day. Next on the list will be Hemingway's To Have and Have Not. I will say that I am so happy that I bought, read, and retained the info in Cynthia Shapiro's book last month and if things turn around professionally, I will be sure to drop her a grateful email.

Ran the Boardwalk yesterday morn on my first wedding anniversary with the woman I married so it was a great way to start the day. I am not sore from it, though, but I plan to be after today's run. I didn't run on Friday as I'd hoped -- got a phone call that needed me to break a mental sweat. I worked out and/or ran Sat - Mon so it's all good. I'm putting on some weight which was freaking me out a little but I'm able to bench more and run for longer distances, so it comes with the territory, I suppose. The past couple of weeks have had their share of glutton fests (courtesy of family gatherings) and I have a tough time putting down the fork. I can tame it all at work, but once I'm out it gets harder.

Seeing some acoustic guitar-playing beatniks standing in the grassy knoll to my right. There are still some (I'm guessing) homeless dudes using a coat for a pillow nearby. The Parks cops sometimes wake them up and hassle them a bit but not today.

There's really nothing interesting going on in my mind, thankfully it's pretty clear today. No bad mood and I'm feeling quite healthy. Moving at a solid pace.

Thank you for reading.
