Lots more yard work and washing the car with my dad in the beautiful sunshine - WE HAVE A WORKING SPRINKLER SYSTEM!  I am over the moon happy about this.  Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU DAD!  You are the best dad in the world.

Then we went and used J's golf tournament winning with an 18 hole round at Rainier Valley Country Club (fancy!).  18 holes was definitely 9+ holes too many though, walked most of the first 9, rode (and didn't play) most of the second 9.  Delicious Red Robin to celebrate, what a lovely weekend, so sad its over!

3 miles around the neighborhood this morning.  Super slow and ankle is still bothering me even after 3 full days off.  BLAH!!  WHY????????????  It is really confusing me because I'm not sure whether to just push through this one or to keep taking it easy.  Guess I shouldn't have gotten so cocky and signed up for the Salem half in 2 weeks!
