I got new running shoes and slowed down, a bit.  They have more cushion and more weight.

I'm still slow, but 11:03 for a mile this morning.  I feel like I'm running really hard, but that's slow.  The extra 40 pounds doesn't help.  I'm running, swimming, lifting, and drinking.  That last item is probably keeping the weight on.

Yup mine has a variable speed pump and is programmed to run at different speeds throughout the day.  It runs higher when the Polaris is cleaning, and runs at slower speeds the rest of the day.

I also sometimes run the waterfalls overnight, it helps cool the water.  They have their own, separate pump.

Pool water is currently over 90 degrees in my pool.

Don't get me wrong, I am capable, just would rather pay someone else.

I use to do all my own car repairs (other than totally rebuild an engine, there is not much that I have done on a car), house repairs, I have fixed ACs, put in new water heaters. etc.

I did it because i had to, couldn't afford to do it otherwise.

Now that I can pay someone to do those things, I pay someone, my time is worth more than what I pay someone else to do it.

Yeah I still love working with my hands, but I'd rather spend my time building and creating.  I always have a project or 5 going.

For example, I'm currently in the midst of adding a long wall of built-in wardrobes into my master bedroom. We don't really NEED them, we have a huge walk-in closet, but there was a ton of dead space at one end of our overly massive master bedroom, and I thought they'd add some visual interest and architectural feature to the room, while also being functional.  We'll be able to move most of our clothes out of the master closet and put a weight bench and a treadmill in there and use it as a home gym.

I find that kind of work interesting and fun, as opposed to changing oil which I find to be tedious and dull.
