Weekend's over

So it was a pretty straightforward weekend, which is great considering we have not had a down weekend for about a month. On Saturday Kristin and I had our longest training run for the Marathon. We went for three hours and covered around 19.5 miles. We actually did really well during the run and Kristin's knee problems were not an issue this time around. So she's really happy and I'm excited that we should be able to get through this race. We start tapering off for the next three weeks. 12 miles sounds like nothing now!

I stained our deck today and it looks a lot nicer, kind of a new glow about it. I have some small touch up stuff to do but it should be finished tomorrow. I ran out of sunlight.

We went and watched the University of Portland women's soccer team against North Carolina today. I have never been to a game but considering UP is the reigning national champ and UNC is always a contender, it made for some good footballing (is that word). So we sat in the hot sun with a bunch of old people and youth soccer teams and watched the Tarheels beat the Pilots 1-0. It really wasn't that great of a game and the goal was a total fluke. But there weren't many opps at all for either team.








I'm quite the handy man--our beloved front door which is a pain in the ass to open and close, finally fell off the hinge tonight. So with my freshly stained deck and now a front door hanging half off, we were trapped in the house. But I went and got a few long screws and mounted the thing back in there. She's real solid now. I don't care how simple it was, when your door literally falls off, you take a lot of pride when it works better than it has since you've owned the house.

That's about it for now. My fantasy football team was atrocious so I'm pissed about that. And I really don't feel like going to work tomorrow.

Oh well...
