Today's supposed to hit the 90s.
Glad I ran and hit the gym to work the pecs and tris last nite and ran my lunch 5k (in 21:55, just as Ozzy finished the last word of "Let Me Hear You Scream.") Comparatively, today's a rest day.
I've begun To Have and Have Not -- I think it will be a winner. Drops the N-bomb a lot, though. I'm only 25 pgs deep and he's probably used it a dozen times.
Finished Spoken on the return train ride yesterday and that book opened my eyes a bit wider to the Afghanistan conflict. One line that sticks out most was how, when discussing how they were training the ANA and working with civilians, one soldier said he was still cynical, and that "the only ones I trust are the Taliban, because I know they want to kill me." The worst part of the book was learning that soldiers died due to malfunctioning equipment or non-combat actions -- civilians, too. Each time I catch myself getting too whiny I will think of anyone over in that part of the world (a soldier or civilian), b/c they've got it much tougher than any of us over here. No one's blowing up my house.
Listening to a RHCP mix as my mood it's reflective of my positive mood. It's tough to be a downer in weather like this. I also found out yesterday that the new album, which will be titled I'm With You, is supposedly going to be released the day after the triathlon, which is great b/c I'm still on vacation that day (I would've called out sick otherwise). I'm skeptical b/c CDs don't usually come out on Mondays.
Looking forward to lunch with my friends today and to skipping out as often as possible.
Was able to make the WSH light in one felt swoop and I'm moving at a decent pace.
Had pancakes for breakfast.
Thank you for reading.
