So this was a holiday week and yet it felt like an insanely long week just the same. \u00a0I blame the surprise temperature increase. \u00a0When I raced Colonial Beach Tri two weeks ago, it was in the 50’s. \u00a0Last weekend, it was in the 80’s. \u00a0And just for fun, on Monday, I realized my air conditioner wasn’t working. \u00a0Turns out it just needed copious amounts of pollen removed and a few pounds of refrigerant, so many hundreds of dollars later, my house is once again a reasonable temperature (Of course, who knows what my electric bill will be, because that sucker kept trying to cool the house and failing.)<\/p>\n

Thankfully, I could go to work to escape the 80+ degree house, but on Wednesday, I worked from home in the afternoon while waiting for the tech. \u00a0I only spent about 5 hours in the heat, but by early evening, I was absolutely exhausted. \u00a0From doing nothing. \u00a0I feel like people in pre-AC days either slept a lot more or were just much more sturdy. \u00a0Let’s be honest, probably the latter.<\/p>\n

I also got to move my desk at work to a much more prime location (joys of seniority). \u00a0I hadn’t moved since 2011\u00a0and it was fun to find all the different things I had saved. \u00a0A whole bunch of half marathon maps (from the days when I actually looked at running race\u00a0course maps before the race) and all sorts of promotional materials for upcoming runDisney races. \u00a0They certainly don’t need to put out promotional materials anymore.<\/p>\n

Of course, after a beautiful, warm week, we’ve got rain in the forecast for the weekend. \u00a0Looks like my bike ride might get stormed out. \u00a0I’ll ride in the rain, but certainly not in a storm.<\/p>\n

Oh well, more time for me to enjoy my air conditioning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
