Luckily I got my run in earlier this evening. It turns out at 7 pm, though the sun has already set, I saw more runners than I have seen at any other time during my running adventures in this city. My Achilles Tendon is bothering me a little bit this week, so I may not be running the night race in Greece at a full pace. about 19 miles (almost 30k) on Sunday at a pretty good pace was not the best idea.
We are having some major, major plumbing issues right now in this joint (hostel). It seems there some of the pipes have leakage that comes from our bathroom sinks or shower drain into someone's downstairs office. Meanwhile, as someone is working on the repairs of that issue, another person is piecing together the pipes to build up the second bathroom here (finally).
At least we do have hot showers here now. For the first few months, one could take a warm shower for a good five minutes or so, but not so much a hot shower. I was credit with the idea for the thermostat which has solved the problem.
Last week I met a recent college graduate from the University of Memphis (my hometown university), who was born and raised in Memphis. He lived in the Bartlett area, and went to high school at St. Benedict. It was definitely a great experience to spend time with someone from "back home" for a day or two.
I have a few more things to throw on this blog, but I will try to keep everyone updated a little more regularly.
