The daily double.

We had a violent and beautiful storm during the day and through the night yesterday. It was great getting home--to my new place--and making my way out to a couple of the neighborhood establishments. The Front Room, in addition to having wonderful food, might have the best happy hour in town. Some very nice and generously portioned wines for $2 glass, and yesterday Shipyard pints were $2.50. I sought shelter from the storm and met some of my new neighbors there.

A bad day yesterday. As I result of some jet lag I had a poor night's sleep and slept through my alarm. I therefore missed my morning workout but did not miss my daily alotment of calories. I gained weight.

A decent recovery this morning: an 8K run in 44:40 with Ave. HR = 119. I'm hoping to get to the 1.5 hour spinning sessing this evening, and finish the week strong. I'd planned a 50K week (combined running and rowing) and the two spinning sessions. I'll need focus and no more mishaps to hit that benchmark.
