Oh summer.... Where you be?

While I can not complain about the weather over the last weekend, I can complain about the crazy bad weather we have had so far and will probably have in the next few days. It is 1/4 the way through July and I have more fingers and toes than we have had good days. Maybe a little reverse weather psychology is in order.... I would really like it if it rained all summer! I would really love it if I never saw through the clouds again.... Ok, that should be good.

I have started running again. I was getting some respectable mileage in before moving and then I came to Boston in the dead of winter. That on top of being unmotivated because I was unemployed (I think I went over this phenomena) I dropped from 18-22 miles a week to roughly 0-1. Now I am up to 6-7 and I am planning on bumping that up a few more miles this week. I bought a new pair of running shoes this weekend and will have to justify the purchase by using them more often. After living with myself for thirty some odd years I have figured out that my number one motivation when it comes to exercise is that I don't like to waste money. So, in order to motivate myself I buy equipment and it guilts me into using it.

Well, I just got an email and it has given me something to do. I will stop wasting your time with my rambling and get to it.
