Wind

I hardly slept last night due to all the (insert choice expletive here) wind. I thought I could hear pieces of the house ripping off at times. And the creaking! It was driving me crazy! I did a walk around this morning before work and I couldn't see any damage (knock on wood), just some stuff in the yard that got knocked over and blown around. Our power went out for a few seconds this morning, but that was the worst of it. The way I knew the power went out is because I was up reading at the time. I know the lack of sleep is going to catch up with me sometime today, so I think I'll keep my chocolate covered espresso beans handy today!

Before the weather decided to change from the mid 60s to the 30s, I went up to the pool to burn off some energy. I swam 1.25 miles in about an hour and ten minutes. My mile split was about like last time, right around 54 or 55 minutes. I had some very painful calf cramping at around a mile and an eighth. It took a couple minutes for me to get rid of them. They came on as I was pushing off the wall pretty hard. Hopefully I won't have to worry about that in the open water.
