    Did my long run, glad it is over. I was tired this morning and started out slow, so it  took me longer than I thought to run. I was late for boot camp, but didn;t mind because my calf muscles were still sore from hiking this past weekend.

    5 more weeks until my 10k run.

    Long night on the train. Tired. Went for a nature walk, not sure how far, maybe a couple of miles.  Played in the pool with the kids, but the pool was too small to swim in. I hate being in a pool and not being able to swim :(  I have set the alarm to get up early and run tomorrow.

    I did my short run today. I was on a dirt trail so I don't exactly how far I ran, but I think it was a little shorter than the 3.5k that Hal wanted me to do.  I got sidetracked by a side trail up to a vista. It was only 500 steps, and took 15 minutes to run up and back down, but the view was really worth it.  I figured that in the end, I got some exercise and a nice view too. I even made it back in time to wake all 5 of those kids up and get them all over to breakfast on time. I tried a pancake with fresh lime and sugar on top, it was yummy.  

    Oh, and I almost forgot, while I was running I saw the biggest spider I have ever seen in my life. I just stood motionless and stared at it, while it stared back at me. Somehow, I was sure it could read my mind and was going to jump through the air towards me and kill me. It was so creepy.

    Made up some boot camp class for myself. Got a good workout, but my "made up" class was only 1/2 hour long, not one hour. Went for a short swim to cool down. I was going to try to let my calf muscles rest today, but those waterfalls were too much of a temptation. I'm such a sucker for a waterfall hike, or a good viewpoint hike. In the end, I think the views were worth hearing my calf muscles complain for a few hours. 

    I wonder what I will be tempted to go hike to tomorrow.

    I got voted off the island, the kids all wanted to go to the mall istead of going on another hike. :(  Where did I go wrong?

    I did a 5k run on the treadmill. It was my first time to run on a treadmill in several months. Why does a 5k on the treadmill seem easier than 3.5k outside?
