Cannot believe it's August already.
July was good, of course and I guess I am in the habit of waiting all year for the summer.
Today is important as it marks the homestretch. I have 15 days of work before the week of vaca and then the triathlon. That means that, in theory, I should/could be at RT #465 by the time of the race. I have no plans post-work so, short of a major rainstorm, I should be able to do 3 full weeks and get myself back in shape and on track. The two weeks did its number on me, physically, and though my weight is hovering in the 156 zone I can see some extra padding on my lower midsection, which needs to be rectified. I'm confident that once I resume running for the next few weeks it will begin to resemble the way I looked in early July.
I had to give up reading Nostromo. It's just too dense and I also don't care enough. I read almost all of the first big section but there was just so much description and so much back story and exposition that I couldn't plow through. Not enough dialogue, either. It just kept going on and on about these minute details that couldn't possibly impact anything else later on.
So today I begun reading Wolverine: The End. I do like the Wolverine mythology and I do like the series so I reckon it'll be a satisfying read.
Next on the agenda with either be a Horace Silver autobiog or Elmore Leonard's more recent, and after both are done I'm hitting Perec. I figure I'll breeze through the first 2 and be able to read Perec while on vacation.
I'm schvitzin today. Still have to run, though. No ifs. I don't know how well I will do but I will do my very best.
Thank you for reading.
