Clyde's Comeback!

Worked on yard stuff from 7 a.m to 11 p.m straight. I bought 8 big new trees for the yard and with the help from the Stout family from our old ward we got them all in the ground. I also rented a trencher to dig the lines for my sprinklers. This whole process is actually a lot of fun but it's physically murdering me. My hands have a bunch of fresh new blisters and I was wearing gloves.

On top of not having the time at all to get out and run my calves were really sore from last Saturday's run. So not going out today was kind a must anyways. We'll see what Tuesday brings other than lots of yard work.  

More trenching to get the sprinkler lines in. I've got to get the ditch witch back by noon to get the cheaper rate. I'd really like to get at least 5 miles in today if I can get things done. My calves are still pretty tight... man I'm out of shape to be so sore from such a small workout last Saturday. 

More yard work.... I'm trying to get it all done and have the grass in by the weekend. Yesterday I spent 15 hours working in the yard and more of the same coming today. 

Oh man am I going to run at all this week? Who knows is the real answer. I've got all the yard prep done and now just waiting until tomorrow for curb and sod. Hopefully things will go ok with them both going in the same day. I could use any help I could get doing the sod tomorrow after 9 a.m. 

It's funny I haven't ran all week but have lost 5lbs from busting my butt out in the heat every day. I'll be glad to get back into a regular type of week and get all this done.  

Finished all the plumbing and dirt work for the lawn the last couple days. I used this new stuff called blue-lock for the sprinkling system. It's some blue pipe that comes in a roll of 100ft and then there is no gluing. You just push it into the fittings you need. Way, way cool stuff that made installing it a dream compared to the old PVC crap. Plus it all flex's because it's more like hose that pipe so you don't break it like old pipe. Anyways two thumbs up from me on this and if you needing to do a sprinkler job as about it as a outdoor plumbing store. 

Kind of just doing a little of everything while I finish the big landscaping projects.
