AM: 2.25 mile neighborhood walk.

Sad to report that Andy's goldfish, Bubbles, died yesterday. Andy made him a nice coffin out of Leggos and we had a nice service for him in the backyard.

He was a good fish.

PM: 10.25 miles on the treadmill. Ran most of it over 9 mph and did one 5 mile stretch in 31 minutes.

***FISH UPDATE*** I got home from work and we have a new fish to replace Bubbles. Andy can't decide whether to name him Bubbles Jr. or Buddy.

Over two years. Pretty long for a goldfish.

that is a good life for a goldfish -- no doubt thanks to a good caretaker. :)

Indeed. RIP Bubbles.

I read this to the kids this morning. Mutual mourning.
