Nice long walk on the beach with my friends to see my other friends in the national park of the island (Assageague). Lots of wild horses and deer all around. Gorgeous weather. Should have ran...

Ummm... LAME!

Woke up at the crack of dawn and it was windy and overcast and rainy - got dressed, put on my running shoes and went out for a run... but then it started raining too hard so I figured my friend probably wanted to leave the campground and head home early. So I went back to the camp, we packed up and left the beautiful beach. Got home around noon... should have ran then... but did not...

After work, ran towards Fletcher's - about 2 miles in I saw my friend Ileana so I ran with her back a little bit so we could catch up - she was going really slow, so I kept on going after a few minutes. Then came back to the office, picked up my big heavy pack and ran home the 6 miles long way home. Feeling good but going slow.

Ran to the office from home in the morning. I have a 1/2 marathon on Sunday so I don't want to do too much this week. 

I start school today, taking 2 classes... yikes...

Ran home from the office after work, the long way. Right calf tight.

Ran home from the office the long way, and with my big, heavy backpack. Right calf freaking tight! What's wrong with my calf?

Nada - volunteered with Keen playing with kids in the swimming pool.  I helped another volunteer with a new kid, Michael, who could not walk but could move his legs a little and splash. He seemed to have fun for a while, but then he got too cold.  Thankfully he could speak reasonably well, so we could tell that's what he was feeling.  So we helped him out of the pool and warmed him up and his dad came down and we chatted for a while.  What nice people.  He told us his daughter (Michael's sister) became a physical therapist so that she could teach her brother to walk.  Unfortunately he couldn't despite many efforts, but she still helps him move a bit and helps others, I'm sure.  I think what these kids need the most is human touch; most people don't know that they need to be treated like other kids.  He seemed so happy when we were rubbing his arms to warm him up. Before he left I gave him a big hug and kissed him on the cheek and he gave me the biggest smile I've ever seen. I can't tell you how that made my day.
