Finally made it up for a morning run. 5.25 on the treadmill before work. Heel hurts a little, but not too much.

PM: So I left work early today to transport a colleague to the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah because he couldn't drive cuz ( would it surprise some of you to know that high school students actually use "words" like cuz in there essay writing? They actually write serious academic papers as if they were texting) his eyes were dilated....

So I made it home early enough to relieve my old lady (I'm seeing how long it takes Ann to see that I've referred to her as my old lady) of some of the child rearing responsibilities and took Abby to swim practice. Went across the street to the gym and pounded out 6.25 miles on the treadmill.

Saw Andrea at the gym doing a brutal hot tub workout.

A DOUBLE TODAY!

I wish I had sucked it up and went for the PM hot tub workout!

I recall reading one of my daughters' essays when she was much younger and having to counsel her that her school paper writing "voice" was not the same as her texting "voice."

Nice double --- cuz ur cool!

I'm sure glad my paycheck doesn't rely on me writing essays. I'd be in big trouble.
