Recovery

Jonnene had to work today. I met her for lunch and she's part of a small staff working the day after Christmas. She's had a full day already. I worked on the new carport door, painting it and applying chalking wherever it was needed. Still more to go...doors take up a lot of time if you want them done right. I want it done right.

We had rain overnight which makes me even less trustful of the meteorologists now. They said no rain until Friday afternoon. Instead we get rain early in the morning with plenty of humidity (the carport floor is sweating like crazy) and no rain is forecasted for the afternoon. Storms are moving in Saturday but we already knew that. These guys can't predict weather 24 hours from now, yet we're supposed to believe them when they say the earth is set to undergo drastic human-caused climate change in 10-20 years? Don't you ever believe it. I don't and won't. Nobody's shown me why I should.

Because of the wet weather I bailed on doing a bike ride. I had no desire to go slip-sliding across the roads and to wash my bike again so soon after the last time I hosed it down. I did a run instead and knocked off practically a full minute from my time a week ago. I still feel like I'm running too slow but the clock don't lie and my distance is accurate. The Dustbuster Duathlon is 8 days from now and I'm sure I'll turn in an ugly performance but it'll be a good workout at the least. I just need some outdoor bike time!
