An easy 5 miles. This year, work has been full of lots of ups and downs. We're in the middle of a down right now. It's a little rough. I'm hoping this will not be one of those things that gets worse before it gets better, but I am fairly certain that we haven't hit the worst yet.

An easy p.m. run after dinner but before the kids' bedtime. It was almost 80 today, but it felt great. I don't think it was almost 80 when I ran though.

There are 17 more days of school left (including finals). I will be glad when it's over. I am tired of some of the drama. A couple people are really stressing me out.

An uneventful run, nothing even close to as exciting as the dollar I found on my run on Tuesday.

Today at school a teacher sent a kid to the office asking me to come to his room. I thought there was a problem. Turns out he needed me to watch his class for five minutes. I'm pretty sure it was so that he could take a dump.

Drove up to my mom's on Friday. Ran this morning around Riverside. About 4 miles in, I heard footsteps behind me. For about a half mile, a woman and I ran parallel (me on the sidewalk and her in the street). Finally, when I realized we were going to continue running the same way, I started talking to her. She was running 10 miles, just for fun. She said she has lost 35 pounds this year, and increased her running a bunch so that she could keep it off. She has never run more than 10 miles, but we talked about races and whatnot. Finally we parted ways when she turned right and i thought i was turning left. Turns out I turned the wrong way, but whatever. I made it home. I didn't have my garmin, but I mapped this, and it was just under 7.
