Highs and Lows

Highs this week

• Lots of kittens to play with at the place I volunteer.
• After a year and a half our artichoke plant has its first artichoke!
• Art camp-that I’m running, teaching, creating curriculum for, etc.-is going well.
• Mom is home safe from Guatemala.
• Dad caught lots of halibut and salmon and some gets to come to our house.
• Finding a fun book to read and having the time to finish it in a few days. A cheesy romance novel, but still fun every now and again.
• Wine tasting at Satori.
• 19:53 (negative split) on our first 2-mile marker set run.
• 500 m swim on our first 10 minute marker set.
• 15.34 mph (very hilly and with some stoplights) average pace bike for our first 15 mile marker set.
• Playing with my new Garmin 400cx gps heart rate monitor–even though I can no longer be in denial about how slow I run.

Lows from this week

• Cracking open a rotten egg. Stink city!
• When our hairy cat has diarrhea.
• Some hot days and nights without A/C.
