While I'm talking about the condo, it's never too early to start thinking about winterizing your house. Seriously, all homeowners out there can avoid what we went through by looking into the following items:
1. Insulate any pipes in the crawlspace/attic or exterior walls.2. Look into replacing old copper lines with a material called Pex. Greatly reduces the risk of a burst or broken pipe.
3. Regular maintenance to your HVAC unit. In our case, ours was installed years ago without a proper drainage system. We cut into the drain line and ran the condensate through the back of our master closet, and out the rear of the building. Less than $100 could save you an insurance claim and a lot of headache.
So, I ran again today. This was my third outing while on call, quite the feat. I shortened my route to about 25 minutes today because of all the work to do at home. It was a nice, peaceful run...if that sort of thing even exists when you run as slow as I do. I'm looking forward to trying to increase mileage in the next few weeks. I'd like to try a 5 miler before the first football game I attend (2nd week of the season) as sort of "milestone". I'm done for training this week though as I will head to Rock Hill this weekend for the annual High Cotton Sporting Clays shoot. This is an event I look forward to every year with my dad and uncle. Next week should include some heavy week days and we will once again be out of town on the weekend. My lifelong best friend is getting married and I've heard that it's frowned upon for the best man not to be there. Even if Clemson is playing at home. That's true love, Randy Jackson style.
