I slept better last night than I did the night before, so that's good. But I was a little slow getting out of the house this morning because I changed the laundry and folded the load that I took out of the dryer before I went out for my run.

I tried a new route today that I sort of made up as I went along. It incorporated parts of other routes I do, but added a stretch on County Line Road. I've been avoiding County Line Road because it is really hilly. But the stretch I did today was the easy part. Maybe I'll do one of the other sections in the coming days. My run today was supposed to be 7 miles, but I under-estimated some of the distances and so it took me an extra half mile to get home.

Getting up early this week is taking its toll on me. I went to Sam's Club last night, and as I was leaving, the lady who checks your receipt at the door told me that I looked really tired.

I've had a very busy morning between laundry, messing with the sprinklers, and driving to the high school because Thing 1 had to take his string bass. I've to get crackin' now and get to work.

I hate it when strange people tell me I look tired! Usually I am and it just makes my want to smack them LOL

Nice run today! You have had a busy morning!

Nice run today. Sometimes it's good to get in a chore or two before the early morning run, helps to warm you up a bit before heading out the door.

Doesn't that Sam's Club lady know school just started up! People tell me all the time that I look like I never sleep...makes me real happy.

If someone tells me I look tired, I blame it on whatever color I'm wearing and get rid of it! Hope you get some extra rest.
