pshaw_raven: (Lurking Kitty)
In my office, untidy office,
The lion sleeps toniiiiight

Feisal napping inside a lion-themed kitty tent in my messy office, surrounded by running shoes and who-knows-what else

I decided to start doing some of my own metabolism tracking with an eye to maintaining or improving body heat, all that stuff. To that end I was just looking for a decent basal thermometer, as you're supposed to take your temps before you even get out of bed in the morning. Little did I know, women doing cycle tracking and natural pregnancy stuff also use these things and I get the sinking feeling my search results are going to be fucked up for weeks. Like way worse than the time Amazon thought I had a kid because I was shopping for cute lunch boxes. Yes, I'm a grown-ass adult. Yes, I want a lunch box with a kitty on it. Go pound sand.

I need to get outside and pick up around the base of the radio tower. Fox got his battery backup system sorted out yesterday, and he dug out some of the loose/unconnected copper wire that isn't tied into the grounding, so I can pick up broken bricks and stuff and weed-whack. Why are there all those broken bricks and stuff, anyway? Were we trying to keep weeds down?

Tolstoy, cat for scale.

It arrived today. Time to get going! :D

Anyway. In ten days I do my virtual Boston Half Marathon. Fox is considering doing his Friday morning, so I'm looking at Sunday. I'll rest Friday, a short shake out run Saturday, then the Big One on Sunday morning, getting cracking as close to sunrise as possible. I've got an idea of where and how to run that I'm going to test this coming Sunday, as I have a 120 minute long run scheduled. I'm going to try parking in the equestrian lot at Gold Head Branch, because the sidewalk begins right there, and it runs all the way into Keystone Heights. That keeps me off the highway shoulder and away from insane motorists. Fox has run that route before and says it's pretty nice. I don't know about the parking but I'm hoping to be back to my truck by the time anyone notices. Unless there's a big event that weekend, there's not usually anyone there at all.

That route also puts me in easy distance of convenience stores, a couple of fast foods joints, and a Dunkin Donuts. While I haven't needed nutritional support on any of my long runs so far, easy access to water is reassuring, and depending on my confidence levels, a nice cup of joe at the halfway mark might be welcome.

I feel like I'm just now getting back into the regular swing of things from vacation, LOL. Trips sometimes really mess with my mind. We go again in early November for Wine & Dine, but that is, I think, a day shorter than this one was.

I should get some more stuff done around here, but it's raining, the cat is asleep on me, and I just feel like reading.
