It really is two weeks til Boston. I just stepped out for a five mile jaunt more to burn some calories than for any desire to train. When I train I am very disciplined, and when I taper - I really taper. That said I had a great run tonight. It was 42 degrees and mostly clear. I have been a walking zombie for much of today, but tonight's run really brought me back.
Work is insane these days. I am the greenhouse manager for an herbaceous perennial nursery in Deerfield, and it is still too cold to put plants outside, but our greenhouses are full. We make room by shipping plants out to our customers, often begging them to take the plants early. Of course we will soon be on the phone with a number of growers explaining that their plants are on the way, but delayed. Every week I go through my crop schedule and decide what plants need to be planted now, and what can wait. Besides the greenhouses the farm has 35 + acres of field grown perennials. The field is my biggest customer in 8 weeks I have to deliver about 500000 plants to the field. We are propagators. We grow small plants and sell them other nurseries that will pot them up and sell them to garden centers.
That is my life. Work, play with Ben, and run. Occasionally see my wife when we are not working.
Balance is what life is about. When I find some I will post its secret here.
Good night.
