Our daughter and son-in-law are moving to the Washington DC area over the holidays. In order to offer them space with us until they find a new home, Denise and I have been massively cleaning up the basement and going through the lifetimes of collected odds and ends to throw away. This has laid waste to my running program.
On the up side, I have moved the gym out of the finished room in the basement and into the larger unfinished space. This will result in a larger gym which will enable both of use to exercise at the same time without risk of my accidentally hitting her in the head with a swinging Olympic barbell.
Athletically, a somewhat desultory end to a year of mixed results. Nonetheless, the primacy of being the enabling parent, even of a 31 year old, takes temporary precedence over athletic ambitions. Next year, the quest for marathon performance continues. Its ironic that I started this year in the same frame of mind.
