Today was a mixed bag. I got up this morning to go for a run and Lucas came along. I wanted to get a long run in today and it just didn’t happen like I had hoped. It began raining about ten minutes into our journey, and even though I didn’t turn back, after about twenty minutes of running in the rain I decided I was only doing about 12 miles today. Along with the rain, my right leg just wasn’t feeling the greatest… and it is still sore, but not sore to the point I am too worried about it yet.
When Lucas and I got back I went back to my apartment to stretch and shower up. When I stepped back out to head over to Lucas’ apartment I was perturbed to find the the cloudy and rainy skies had melted away and it was actually quite sunny and warm out! We set out for the homestead to help mom finish cleaning out one of the messiest rooms in the house and after that we hauled up my youngest brother’s water bed back to my apartment to use, as he won’t be needing it serving in the Marines =) . Our mom took us out to a China buffet to celebrate my birthday and then we parted ways.
I just finished assembling the water bed and it is ready to use tonight, and I look forward to testing it out. Before I head to bed I am going to read at least twenty pages in my C++ book so I have a dent into chapter six.
