4 sprints!

Ran well today.  Four sprints, less pull-ups, and a couple groups of push-ups.  I’ve having great fun running these days.  It seems like it rains all the time here, so when it’s not raining, I take advantage of that little respite and get out there.  I’ve been wearing one long-sleeve t-shirt
and one short-sleeve t-shirt and my purple fleece gloves—much like my outfit last December/January in Albania.  It’s great this way because I don’t sweat much, but I still maintain significant body heat—I do sweat a little.
I ran to where I thought I found that super-thin pull-up bar, thinking that I would break my record.  Unfortunately, I didn’t find it.  It’s not surprising considering how lost I have been around here.  Each day, though, I am becoming more and more accustomed to the area.  I feel like I fit in here.  This is an interesting feeling.  For a guy who loves the outside, and the farm, and open spaces—and considering I like to say the St. Petersburg in the only city in the whole world that I even like, much less love—I am finding like here in Moscow much to my liking.  I am living nowhere near down town; I’m at the end of a metro line.  Even though I live right next to a forest, I have been in there only a couple times because it has been raining so much.  I have only one pair of tennis shoes, so I don’t want to get them wet.
Life is good.
