Today, I am not working. I took the day off, thinking I would need it to recover from the half-marathon that I ran yesterday. Turns out that I really don’t need it. My muscles are a little sore, but I feel fine. We did not go fast at all in the half-marathon, my time was around 3:18. In fact, I felt so good yesterday that I cleaned out my entire living and dining room, threw out my old couches and went and bought a new one.

I think I might like to try running a half-marathon again. It was long and tiring, but it was fun. And while I did complain a lot about training, I did enjoy it. I know I’m in much better shape than when I started, which is nice. And I hadn’t trained for anything in years, so that was fun to do again.

Anyway, so today I can do whatever I want. I think I might go to the Art Institute to look at the pictures and maybe sign up for an art class.
