NYC Marathon Training Wk 11

Planned Miles: Who knows?

Completed Miles: Who cares?

Adding more crap to the sh*tstorm

Last week, I mentioned that I am pretty close to my breaking point since moving to Virginia. I guess the universe was like let's add some more BS to KOS's plate. Sunday night, the husband woke me to inform me that the ceiling was leaking from the evening's storm. Ugh, and I was having a good post-bottle of Chardonnay nap.

 
 

So on top of all of everything, I now have to deal with a leaky roof. On Monday, the roof guy gave me a quick assessment of what might be going on since he repaired the roof (and kept very detailed notes). After giving his assessment, he highly recommended that I put a bucket into the crawl space to collect any additional water that might continue to drip from the roof to the second floor's ceiling because Wednesday was the earliest that he could return to repair the roof. I did as he instructed and did not find a leaky roof, BUT I found this instead.

 
 

It seems that the central air unit, not the roof, was the problem. Water has been accumulating in the unit's reservoir for god knows how long considering the amount of rust inside of it. Also, it looks like the person who installed the unit (about six years) ago forgot to take his empty cans of beer with him.

When I thought it was the roof issue, I had a few choices to make:

  1. Have a meltdown of epic proportions

  2. Drink a bunch of booze

  3. Go for a run

Random fact, it is 3,755 miles from the Waterside District (Norfolk, VA) to Norfolk County, England.

 
 

I think that the run went well because I was too exhausted to worry about the roof for a few hours. I guess at the end of it all, I worried about the wrong thing.

Goals for the week:

-Get the damn central air unit fixed.

-Do a 15-mile long run.

-Look into adult swimming lessons. Yes, I know how to swim but I would like to learn how to properly do all four strokes. Well . . . technically, I have the front stroke down, but I would love to learn how to do flip turns.
