Enjoying the Outdoors

I finally got out of bed about 11:30 again today...that late night stuff just does NOT work for me (and, I know that, so only volunteered to work late on Monday because I knew I would be able to catch up on my sleep during my three days off!).

I went running, but realized that I probably have not been going as far as I thought I was (the little "mile markers" on the trail are in kilometers, not miles). I ran for 45 minutes, so less than four miles, but I really do think I'll be okay on "race day" because it wasn't really my body that made me want to stop as much as being thirsty (which won't be as much as a problem during the race since there will be a couple water stations!). It was very nice outside, but I'm glad I went at noon instead of later since I believe the temperatures reached the 70s.

My cousin had softball games at 5 and 7, so I went with my aunt, uncle, and two other cousins. She didn't get to play at all, but it was still fun (seeing her play would have been great, but we kind of knew she probably wouldn't get off the bench). It was nice to get some fresh air, and spend time with family.

That pretty much was my day (being really productive when you hardly see the morning is a bit of a challenge!). I'm thinking I'll do a little reading before I go to sleep so tomorrow I just have the homework to do. My friend text messaged me this morning that she and her son will be going home tomorrow, so hopefully I will get to see them before they leave. I didn't get any updates on the baby today, but I'm thinking no news is good news, or no change news, because I'm pretty sure his mom would call me about anything else. The baby I wrote about who was injured by her baby sitter ended up getting out of rehab today and going home. That is great news!

With all that fresh air, I'm sure to sleep well (although, as I have written before...sleep is hardly ever a problem for me!). Good night.
