week overview

Another week has gone by, fast as usual! This week seemed to go particularly fast because each day was pretty much the same weather-wise. Rainy, cloudy, and no warmer than the 60's. We miss the sun! We are working today and then will take tomorrow off. We are signed up to run a 10k road race put on by the Healy Coal Mine. We run on the roads in the mine. Both Elizabeth and I do our long runs on Sundays so we'll have to run extra beforehand. I need to do 14 miles in all so will run 8 in the morning before the race. The most exciting thing is that we can shower in the mine facilities after the race! And there is free food.

In other news, Elizabeth walked me through how to use the yogurt maker last night and this morning I woke up to yogurt! Making yogurt is really simple and just depends on doing things at the correct temperature. Elizabeth's yogurt maker came with a thermometer but she has been skeptical about its accuracy so we tested it out by using a temperature probe related to our field work (the perks of living and working in the same place). Turns out the yogurt thermometer can be as much as 10 degrees C off. Now we know to use the science equipment!
