About five months ago two small cats did me the kindness of letting me share their house . In not mentioning this more often, it seems I've been remiss. So without ado: the cats



Even though we've already spent more than $1000 on vet bills we're still calling them "black cat" and "gray cat"--like we're being careful not to get too attached or invested. I'd be lying if I didn't say they've grown on me . . . even if they've also chewed and clawed on me.

In other news, the training continues. I did 12.6 today, being careful to stay at around 10 minutes/mile for the first four like the plan suggests, and still brought it in at 1:55. Tomorrow marks the end of week six of ten and I'm starting to think I won't embarrass myself too badly after all.
