Subject: RE: 5.1.17 Monday May Day! There is that plus with testing.....Sometimes I can actually manage to get some prep work done during work hours that way!
Four-day weekend here (Labor Day in most of Asia ) so still have another day off. Thank goodness. Have gotten the apartment under control--my own decor is up, and I dealt with the ugly mess in the spare room. It involved very creative use of three old curtains, a bedsheet, and a bike box. I'm nothing if not creative, having lived in some pretty marginal apartments in my adult life. That room has risen to the level of "impoverished grad student modern"--best I can do with the owner's reject furniture and artwork plus two bikes confined in there. Plus a guest bed so my guests can enjoy it all! (Jamie--see what you are missing?! You could have slept with my bikes! )
The rest of the house looks good--just need to get some chair covers made to save the owner's furniture from my fur kids, and get a water heater installed in the kitchen. (For some reason, nobody puts them in kitchens here, so you have to arrange it yourself. How do people wash their greasy dishes?? )
Training: One hour run with 5 X 5-minute tempo pickups. Started WAY too late. By the time I finished (at 7:45 AM ), it was already 86 with a heat index of 95. Ugh. Hottest time of year right now--I swear you can feel the sun sucking the energy and moisture out of you! That workout kind of hurt after yesterday's brick. Usually Monday is a swim-only day--maybe that was in place of Saturday's long run (took Saturday off for the move ). Legs are tired! Edited by Hot Runner 2017-05-01 8:19 AM
