Walked / ran about 2 miles from the house to Aces (the casino's golf course's bar).  Ran as much as I could make Ivy huff it.  That was fun.  :-)

Well I successfully rested for an entire week and I swear it made it worse.  A gorgeous morning for a run, down to 'D' river on the streets and then decided to head to the beach since there was a south wind and it was so calm and nice (didn't even need a long sleeve).  Didn't feel that bad when running but it was sore the rest of the day.  BLAH.  At this point perhaps I do need to see a doctor, I just wish I knew someone good and not completely worthless like everyone I have seen so far.  If I need to rest now is the time, but if I don't need to then I don't want to!

It was National Running Day and I did not run.  :-(  30 minutes on the bike trainer before work.  There are TOO MANY THINGS TO DO before next Friday.  Before next Tuesday really, when all of my finals are due and I have to do a presentation.  While I am so excited to go to Leavenworth this weekend, it would probably be better (stress-wise!) if we didn't.  

Taught my last class of the quarter tonight!  We'll wait for the course evals to determine its success level.  Now (just!) 24 huge final projects to grade.

TOO MUCH STUFF TO DO!

Had a huge training today we've been prepping for for about 2 months, it went... okay.  Horrible day overall though, TOO MUCH STRESS! 

Now off to Leavenworth!

It's my birthday (the big 2-9!) so I decided I deserved to run.  :-)  Lovely lovely LOVELY 5 miles through the most adorable town of Leavenworth you've ever seen.  Beautiful blue sky, warm morning (turned out to be 80 degrees!) and beautiful river / mountain / goat views.  Then went on the wine walk, ate some delicious brats and pretzels, and played some games.  Best day ever.
