Five toe discount

Today was my 5th Peterborough YMCA Half Marathon. It went reasonably well, this time, for most of the race, I followed a dude who was barefoot. I did manage to pass him in the last couple of kilometers. WHAT an accomplishment [<- This part must be said in the manner of Zoidberg]. Did I mention it was about -5 C when we started? It was super gorgeous and sunny though.

Wow. So on Monday it was hot and sunny and I mowed the lawn. This may not seem like anything special, except that it has rained just about every day since May. In fact it rained on Monday too, but only for a brief while in the afternoon. I had almost forgotten how much more excellent it is mowing the lawn when it's hot and sunny. So much more excellent. Perhaps it is brightness of the golden rays that seem to wash away the general malaise weeks and weeks of greyness seems to bestow upon its victims. Or maybe it's the super sunburn I got.
