Brrrrr.

Another rainy fall day in Seattle. I thought I would love it. I don't. I don't miss this place at all anymore. As I drive around I try to figure out where I am, passing old haunts and passing by older ones, I try to imagine how in hell I could put in all my rides and open water swims living here. It truly is a blessing to live where I do.

I do miss the ubiquitous Seattle coffee huts that sit in random parking lots selling coffee and latte's to drive thru's. No one would make money in those in Phoenix, losing all their profit to a/c costs. But the coffee is so good from those little places.

I feel that I am abusing my taper but trying to be smart. I planned on a run this morning but as is my downfall I have a hard time sleeping in a strange place and though I rose at 3:30am I did not got to bed until 1 am. I was awoken by a noise but when I looked outside it was low 40's and rainy. Three days no training. I do have Wednesday to Saturday to train and then do a short run while everyone else is racing Soma.

Have I mentioned I feel like a phobic. Stay away from me with your cough. Lets do knuckle bump instead of a hand shake. Anyone have any hand sanitizer? The last thing I need right now is a cold before traveling to Florida.
