Tonight was my school's carnival. The theme was Surf's Up. I'd spent the last two weeks painting tikis and surfboards to help get decorations ready for the photo booth. So it was now time to see the finished products in action and to make our annual donation to the raffle.

Lo and behold!  I'm a winner!!  After 10 years of raffle tickets, one of our tickets was finally pulled!  $25 to Home Goods (or, thanks to the wonderfully non-working neon lights - Ho Gods)

I will call this a reward for all of the hard hard work I've put into this running.

So day 2 of this headache.  Is it wrong to say that I am actually missing running??  Could I be converting??    Hahahahahaha!!! Don't be fooled, people.  That's just my headache making me delusional.  This headache will pass, and I'll be up and running again soon...maybe I need a Dr. Pepper...

Aaaaaaand again, no running today.  I was down with a nasty headache.  Even went to bed early. Ugh!

No running today. :(

I got tied up at work and didn't get home in time to get in a run before it got dark. With the school year winding down there's a lot of things to finish up at work

Today we changed it up. Instead of running for an hour, we rode our bikes for an hour.  Obviously, the pedometer wasn't going to work so I don't know the distance we traveled. Along the way, I was attacked by a bee and a tree.

This was the first day out of the week that we basically said "F-- It"  We hadn't done much training at all this week and here it is Thursday evening. So tonight we were going to focus on training and not what everyone else needed.

During our route, we were coming to the end of the block. Ahead a guy was walking and turned so that he was travelling the same route as us. He started zig zagging back and forth across the street. I couldn't really see everything he was carrying, I noticed a hiking-type of backpack. But Ness noticed a chainsaw hanging from his hip. He continued zig zagging and we quickly turned the corner. Lol! Yeah, not going to risk running past the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Steps: 6550

Distance (jogging): .96 miles

Positivity: 60 more days!  (hey, I never ever said that I was good at math.  Let's see if this will correct itself, or just how bad my counting disability really is)
