this morning i was woken up by a large work machine destroying the house next door to our apartment building. that seemed like as good a cue as any, so i snuck into my room--my friends harley and claire are in town and i let them take the bed--to get some shorts. it was raining steadily, but of course it's not a big deal when you know the hot shower is close at hand when you're finished running. i wore a sweater and a "toque" as they say up here. in canada.

i advanced in the program, can't remember if i said that already. now i run for a minute and a half, walk for a minute and a half,  run for three minutes and then walk for three minutes. do that twice.

felt good today. no shin splints yet.
