My brother graduated from high school today!  I may or may not have teared up.

Not related, I’m tired of my relapse phase.

It’s been…a day.

As much as I love the summer weather, I do hate how it wreaks havoc on my running.  I immensely prefer outdoor running compared to treadmill running, but I’m also one of those people who get red and overheat very easily.  And, capping it all off, there are hardly any trees or any area of shade around my neighborhood, where I normally run.  So in the past, if I wasn’t out before 10 am, no go.

So in an effort to find a way to sleep and still summer run, I found this park path justtt a little drive away. Not only is it cooling, but there’s something much more enjoyable about running when your scenery is forest/lakes/nature as opposed to…oh, look, a Walmart.  

And not to mention since I had to drive there and I have yet to invest in any handy bags/what have you (lol), I was running with my keys.  And then a mile left in my run, I remembered I have my Doctor Who sonic screwdriver key chain in my hand.  Because then I’m an absolute and total nerd, I have to go, “RUN. RUN, YOU CLEVER BOY, AND REMEMBER MEEEEEE.”

I think I scared an elderly guy taking pictures of a duck? (also: way to be, duck!)
