I Live in Iowa: Week 213

I have a sore throat right now, so I won't talk much tonight. Or something like that... 

Failure. I fail. I fail often, and the last couple weeks have had an above average volume of failures for me, at work specifically, but since sometimes it feels like I don't have a whole lot going on outside of work, it kind of gets to me. I know, I know, don't take work home! Yet it can be so easy to continue thinking about what I just spent nine hours thinking about. The main lesson to learn from these recent failures are simply to check my work again before I publish it. Really none of them were that serious. They won't stop me from sending emails that sound uninformed, because I am uninformed, and it won't stop me from making future mistakes. 

I ran 47 miles, one less than last week. A couple workouts were in there but I ended the week running slowly in hot and humid weather which I blame for giving me a sore throat at the moment. Really training is coming along well. Slowly, but it is certainly progress. 

We had a little grilling action Saturday night at a friend's house and slack lining action, and I made it half way across twice, which is the best I have ever done. I'm trying to strengthen my ankles some and slack lining I think will help.

Ugh, I feel sick, goodnight.
