My Wonder

I am really liking jogging these days and looking forward to the Nike Run Hit Wonder 5k. So far, my time is improving with every run and I am up to 2 miles now. I am anxious to see my progression over the next week especially, since school is starting. Maritza is a freaking maniac. I told her that if she doesn’t take a break (she’s gone to the track everyday for the last like, 10 days) she’s going to be treated for exhaustion like her idol Dave Chappell. What I DON’T like about the track at PC is the fact that the stupid football team has practice at the time I go. HELLO. There are psycho spectators with those air horns and old men watching who knows what – certified perverts if you ask me. I glare at them as I go by. My favorite though is the mothers that come out with their strollers to WALK ON THE TRACK – wtf?!

Okay, so I ran on the ground (as opposed to the treadmill) on Saturday. I was totally anxious about it because everything I've heard/read made it seem like my treadmill runs were futile. I was pleasantly surprised, however, to find that my time was actually BETTER on the track!!!! I completed 1.75 miles in 21.5 minutes, which equates to about 12.28 minute miles. I was so excited that I was tempted to run again on my rest day Sunday. My legs aren't even sore, which means that all my working out (six days a week for the last 5 weeks, mind you) counts for something. I was ready to go this morning but discovered I have a sore throat. I am totally determined to go tonight, but if I am not feeling better will settle for my lower body routine at the gym.

Havasupai Heaven

I am really excited about Havasupai Falls. Arizona never ceases to amaze me. This photograph is completely untouched - the water is THAT blue. My only fear is that Adam will get hurt and have to be air evacuated out of the canyon. That and the fact that there are no telephones. AT ALL. Not even pay phones.

Baseball is soooo boring. I thought the night was doomed the moment I sat down. How was I supposed to know there isn't a halftime in baseball? And WHY does the sign show 10 inning numbers if there are only 9? Baseball is dull. However, I ended up having a ball (ha ha) with Maritz and Samuel. I just love Democrats and Dem events. Kinda sad I am not going to YDA Convention, but I don't think I will miss much.  Posted by Picasa
