Can you trust our Government?

USPS mail hold
Three piles from three separate deliveries.

 

What does forgiveness and patience look like?

It looks like the ability to let things go.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) offer a vacation mail hold. We had two weeks vacation with one day back in between, but asked USPS to hold everything until the end.

The pile on the left was in our box after the first week. The middle pile after the second week. Both piles were supposed to be held until the final day.

The third pile also wasn’t delivered on the final day. It was delivered two days late.

Epic failure.

Forgiveness and letting it go ultimately bring solace.

Everyone is fighting a hell know one knows about.

Here’s to hoping USPS gets through theirs.

And here’s to hoping you get through yours too.

Asked Franz for Grace

Delta Rocket launch summer 2015

Delta Rocket launch summer 2015
Last night’s Delta Rocket launch from my office window. Jack the bear, in the dark lower left.

 

After my 800 meter race yesterday at 9am, my next event (1500) wouldn’t be until tonight (yes, a day later) at 8pm. The relief of running one event pain free was satisfying enough to not need more races.

The heat advisory was well above normal. Not a fan of evening running. Plus the threat of late afternoon thunderstorms.

Quickly decided to pack it up and head back to Disney home.

But would the Marriott allow for an early check out?

Explained things to Franz at the front desk, who explained that i would be obligated for the charge whether i stayed or not.

Simply asked for some Grace.

It was granted in minutes.

Thank you Marriott.

Take what you can get

Google Maps showing traffic conditions

 

Bad news last night, the traffic in every direction was gridlocked.

The good news is we were flexible and creative.

We changed our plan and quickly returned to the Marriott.

Temptation dominates progress

Apple Heart Health app
In the gray box above, in upper left corner shows lowest heart rate the past 30 days was 36 beats/min.

 

Hoping tomorrow that there will be no pain in the warmup. Generally, three miles slow jog, then two to three more miles of various intervals to ramp up to race speed. So yeah, about a six mile warmup to run 800 meters.

Keep me humble.

Keep us all humble, regardless of our endeavor.

And remember that humility doesn’t mean weakness.
