Tuesday: Run and Swim


As far as I can tell, the pool should be open tomorrow. Now, because I am super dorky, I am super excited about it. Ivan has been completely bored for the last two days and has had to be hauled down to the McDonald's play place to slide off the energy that was honestly driving me to drink. Twice in the last two days I have found Ivan preparing to run and jump off the dining room table. Also, he has learned how to open the doors that lead out of the house. It is most unfortunate, as on days that he is confined, he tends to try to make a break for it. Today, things got ugly when we were forced to childproof all the doorknobs, which resulted in my being trapped in the house as well.

Childproofing is killer. It took me a full 15 minutes to get out the door to Yogurt World tonight. I eventually had to get a knife and pry the childproof plastic protector off the doorknob so that I could open the door. Ridiculous, right? And don't even get me started on the child locks on the cabinets.

Anyway, I pulled myself together this morning for a quick breakfast, before I got in three fast miles. Running feels great, but I am developing a nagging tightness behind my right knee which is most certainly some misfortune left over from running Boston.

After my run, I got to the pool around the corner for another hot swim. Today, there was actually hot water streaming into the pool, and while I was swimming I would pass through pockets of really warm water. I didn't have more than a mile in me, and I got home to get right on Ivan detail.

Headed into work in the evening.
