You know how I am a loser? Its 8:24 PM and I am still at work.

you started at 1 pm?

More like 8 am

time to leave.. geeezz... ADIEU

shhhh, dont say that word

those fries won't cook themselves

But I thought you liked work?

Not in summer. Not this summer. Long time. How are you?

Ok. And it's been an unseasonably gloomy summer anyway. I don't think the occasional late night makes you a loser.

Gloomy? This summer. You are kidding me. It was so awesome outside today. It was depressing to stay inside and work. What have you been upto?

It's mostly been gloomy. It's true that today was nice; I was just trying to make you feel better. I'm on week three of that Couch to 5k plan. I've always wanted to be a "real" runner, so decided this is the year I try. Was out at Ocean Beach today doing it. It was rather nice.

Ah! how is the progress so far? I've always hated running!

Good! It's been easy so far, since I'm not actually a couch potato. But I do have bad knees. So I'm restraining myself from pushing too much. I just want to see if I can get that "runner's high". I'm much more of a hiker, but hiking isn't always an option. So I wanted something I could do close to home.

at least you have a job
