Day 68: It Was a Tough Day

It was one of those days where the last thing you want to do is exercise.  As you may know during the summer my company does half day Fridays.  I thought it would be a good day to tackle a leaky pipe that I have at my house. 

If you have ever done any plumbing or construction of any kind before you know that a simple problem does not always have a simple answer.  It went something like this; five hours later and a massive re-piping I still have a leak.  Tomorrow I get to dig up the main water pipe to my house, replace a portion that enters my crawl space and if you are wondering, no this is not the first time I have ever done this.  It is the first time to my house but I worked in construction for nine years so I know what I am doing.

Sweating, hunched over, sawing, and everything else what goes with manual labor is what I spent five hours doing today.  I was a sweaty mess and after it was all done and I still had a leak, not only that but I still had 30 minutes of exercise to do. 

I didn’t want to but with the water to my house still off I changed and went for a jog.  When I was done I was able to turn the water back.  That is when I found out that I was only half done and new pipe leaked.

That was my day and now I am tired and I have a lot to do tomorrow. 

Daily Recap:

Matt:  Had to re-plumb a section of his house and still went for a 30 min. jog.


Kelly: TBD
