life goes on...
Jul. 10th, 2004 10:28 amSorry nothing too original lately. It's hard to be inspired to write in here when all I do is get up waaaay too early, go to work and put away hundreds of overpriced mens' shirts, run home, read for a coupla hours, eat dinner, then go to bed.
Well, there was sailing on Tuesday night. I've been sailing with Special Olympics of Baltimore County for almost two years now, and last Tuesday I was allowed out with a Special Olympics athlete for the first time. We didn't exactly win any races, though we did have a good start that second time-the focus was more on just finishing in one of the slower 14 foot boats (less sail area than the 15s) in very light, touchy winds. Unfortunately, Dad and I won't be able to go to the regatta at St. Mary's this year-Heidi's end-of-bassoon-camp concert is the same day. :-( But now that I've officially "graduated," I'm ready to take out any victims, I mean volunteers, on the boats at St. Mary's.
I also have a 13 mile run planned for this afternoon on the NCR Trail. It'll be my first run over 8 miles in probably 3 months. It's time to get back to feeling like a marathon runner! I also had a fun 6 mile run in the rain Wed., and I have two races scheduled for next week-a 10k Thursday and a 5k Sunday. At least one of those will probably be a tempo workout more than anything else-probably the 5k. I've run a gajillion 5ks and that PR is pretty much set in stone, but I've only done 2 10ks and could use a faster PR there. Woo hoo!
I'll end my rambling there and move on to something productive-reading the 5th Harry Potter, for instance. I love summer. :-)
