Yesterday when I hooked up the taps for the bathtub I realized that I had mixed up the hot and cold lines. It didn't really matter becasue it has one of those one handle faucets which you never know which way to turn anyway. When I was putting in the lines for the sink today I was very careful to get them right, as in this case there were seperate handles for cold and hot. It was while I was in the process of soldering the very last joint that I siad to myself....oh oh...Yes, I did it again. Thank goodnes in this case I could resolve it by purchasing longer flex lines and crossing them over behind the sink. What an idiot!
It occurred to me that perhaps I had a small problem with dyslexia, but when I looked it up I realized that that illness applies only to reading. So there you have it. I'm just an idiot!
Anyway. Just a short swim today, 1500 metres but it felt good. Marathon in the morning...42.2 kms. Wish me luck...and Brett too. Dyslexic or not I'm glad he's gonna be there to keep me from running the race backwards. As of now we are unceratin of our race strategy except that we have decided to go out fairly fast. (fast for us at least) The intent is to run the first 10k in 50 minutes and see how it feels. It may be a big mistake but what the hell...life is short, play hard!
I wish to dedicate day 234 to Jerome Drayton, who has held the Canadian marathon record for 34 years!
