Man, my trainer — that guy is seriously a demanding arsehole.
He tells me that next week, I’ll need to run further.
That is all.

I’m not a runner…
It’s a bit dated, but apropos:
I’m not a runner…
…yet.
Full Speed Ahead!
I haven’t had the mental or physical capability since this whole ordeal began a full year ago to go for a run. I used to run twice a week.
I’m just now back from one.
I was only out for about 20 minutes and, yes, it was a bit of a run/walk. It consisted of more running than walking.
Provided I don’t encounter any other significant/life-threatening injuries or setbacks, then I’ll also see about planning and preparing for an actual, organized 5K race as well.
Walking, jogging, running. I don’t care which.
But I will do one.
It Takes Time
For the first time, in nearly one entire year, I don’t feel continuously inebriated.
Checkpoints
Several weeks ago, I mentioned that I was nearly healed from a rather aggressive infection.
So, this is a bit of an update of a few of the items I was hoping to make some traction on:
-a work trip… Done and done.
Yes, we do tend to end up at meals out.
-rebuilding the primer/fuel filter assembly on the truck. Done.
-getting a mount/ledge assembled for my exercise bike. Done.
No idea why, but this particular bike doesn’t have a ledge of any kind on which to rest a book. Now it does.
-actually -using- said exercise bike (I nearly have the strength to do very brief rides). Done; and ongoing.
-rearranging my office. Need to rearrange it every now and again until I find something I like. Done. I rather prefer this particular layout.
-several more complex carpentry projects—think “furniture”, of course.
Eh, there’s the TV stand that I cobbled together from some spare, shop-grade 3/4″ plywood. It was really a “How will I do? What changes will I make? To me? To it?”
-there’s a sailboat in need of being built—to say nothing, of course of the neglected sailboat whose hull needs to be reglassed. Yeah, no traction on either of those.
-wood floors need to be installed in the house. Nor on this.
-oh, and we’ll need to do a bit of house-hunting in a nearby, but much larger city. Yeah, about that: Looking is one thing. The next steps are selecting and making an offer, which can only happen after we do the same with our house.
the rest of me
