I took the day off today for the most part. I was so tired last night I went to bed around 8:30. I woke up at 1:00 and stayed up for about an hour and then slept until 6:00. Fed the dogs and went back to sleep until 8:00. I thought about sleeping some more, but decided against it. After my shower and breakfast I transferred the Malbec into the secondary fermenter, the carboy. I accidentally dropped the siphon off the top of the wine cooler and broke it. Thank goodness I didn't need it today. I'll have to get another one soon. I had to add a gallon of water at the end, and I'm afraid that was too much. I wonder if I didn't get all the juice out of the bucket. I was concerned about not disturbing the lees (sediment) and I hope that didn't keep me from getting all that I could. I guess we'll find out in a few months.
I didn't want to run this morning so I could give myself a rest. I won't be able to run Monday morning because of when I have to take the coach in for repairs. I didn't want to wait until Tuesday morning so I decided to do an afternoon run, which is rare for me. The weather was clear, mid 70s, with a nice breeze. I decided to do two laps around the neighborhood without looking at the GPS (other than making sure I was pressing the right button). Here's the breakdown:
lap miles time pace
1 1.15 11:10 9:44
2 1.16 11:06 9:35
total 2.31 22:16 9:38
I'm pleased with that. I took some time to listen to my body and feel the run without worrying about my numbers. Now to shower and have dinner. I've earned my cupcake tonight.
