Congrats to Roger Federer for the 14th Grand Slam title, at Roland Garros!

Expectations were high. Pressure was on him to win this trophy. Federer succeeded. After hard-fought wins over Haas and Del Potro. He was solid in the Final, beating Robin Soderling, the hard hitting Swede, 6-1, 7-6, 6-4.

It’s been a long, long time coming. Must be an amazing feeling to accomplish this goal. It’s been a tough stretch since last year’s Final. The long wait and recent struggles just make this victory sweeter.

Morning run

without comments

Had bread with peanut butter (Jif) with a bit of honey before heading out for a morning run. Went around a small loop on neighborhood streets. Didn’t like this route so much due to the traffic, hard pavement, and sometimes stray dogs. But it was conveniently close. Good to get a run in, then be able to come home and quickly take a shower.

Just did a short run (~ 25 min). Sweated profusely as usual.

Good way to start off a day.
