tale of the numbers

1 - cub games i have gone to this year
2 - lenses for my camera i have bought recently (just a tad bit of buyer's remorse right now but i am sure that will change when i actually have it in my hands and am taking pictures halfway around the world)
3 - days until dinner with family
4 - shifts to work until i go on vacation
6 - days until i get on a plane to fly half way around the world

i went on an 11 mile run this week. 11 miles, i didn't run 11 miles last year until the middle of july. felt great afterwards, even the next day too. i am a full 3 months ahead of my training from last year and i haven't really even been able to log than many consistent outside miles. the best part of the run...the sun was out, it got up to 70 degrees, it was almost as if it was summer. but not to get my hopes up too quickly it got cold again the next day. soon, soon, in due time it will be consistently good weather.

its late, i am going to sleep. i work overnights on saturday and sunday. i'll see what training i can do over the weekend, it is always hard when working a string of nights and my body gets confused. hopefully a ride on monday (mostly sunny and 70), maybe try and get in a swim and a run before then. any workout would be a bonus. hard to ride on the weekend especially if the weather is nice as too many randoms out there.

hopefully work will be decent this weekend, we shall see, maybe i'll have a good story come monday
