I did not sleep well last night (woke up at 2:30 am wide awake; had to wake up at 4:00 am for the long run, so didn't really fall asleep again.) Stayed in bed reading until it was time. Legs and abs felt tired but not sore after yesterday. I was expecting to have to stay at the lower end of my watt ranges, so I really surprised myself when not only was I having an easy time with the higher end of my watts, I also completely nailed my cadence! The route looks funky because I'm still doing recon of the area and figuring out how far I can go in x amount of time while also connecting the dots between each street. (Most do connect to one another.) We can literally access downtown in both directions, which is super, super cool. I cannot get over how elated I am about the spot where we've ended up living.

Ran past that little house in the pic and had to stop to take a photo: that's totally my kind of house. It's so perfect. Small, with a tiny porch, one level, and a real yard.

Also included a photo of the bedroom. It's enormous. That's only 2/3rds of it. I just started putting up artwork in the apartment and it's beginning to feel like home. Zombie agrees: he's finally hanging out on top of the bed like he normally does, instead of underneath it, like he was for the first couple of days.
