Well…darn, running late again this morning with not getting out of bed until after 7….and I feel worn out today…might have to re-think going so hard as I get older….but, if I start slowing down will that start the inevitable decline that I dread so much? Or, should I go harder and try to up my capacity? Who knows? I do know that I need a day off so I may go out to the beach later this morning after the first ride and the grocery run…..I think I’m going to try to swim soon since I saw people in the water yesterday in the fog and that was kind of cool to see….it is going to be hard to take a day off  when I have so much to do around here…I think I need to unclog the gutter on the front of the house since it was overflowing in the downpour yesterday…maybe that will be the work to do today so I don’t feel guilty? That one runs under the front stairs so it will mean taking the lattice off to get to it and I’m not sure I want to do that yet….we’ll see….maybe I can just run a hose down it and see if that will work….but right now I just want to have coffee and read some news before I get going…more later…
