Thankful for the cloud cover today as it was still humid out there. πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

I meant to run much earlier today to avoid some of the heat and humidity but didn’t and was right in the thick of it. If the sun would have stayed behind the clouds that might have helped as well. πŸ₯΅

Felt like I was swimming out there today with the humidity and heat. I did find a new place I have run by often but never down the road to see the water. Maybe because it was downhill and I knew I have to run back up later 😁.

In these brief moments I am reminded why it was worth all the travel I did years ago.. I love seeing the joy on my kids face when we go to a hotel for no reason at all than to relax and hang out at a pool by yourself πŸ˜‰.

Change of office scenery today

I think my Xfinity Mobile finally fixed my problems after multiple calls and chats with customer support. Not to mention the number of hours with out cell service while there were fixing it. Time will tell if it is really corrected πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Most likely the last run in this area till fall when my girls are back at dance. I enjoyed this small loop I found that is right around 400 meters. It is a good way to pass the time towards the end of my run that is close to the studio. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

New place to run but my legs were not ready for the rough terrain and up and down of these trails. However, some of the scenery might have made it worth while. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I guess leave it better than you found doesn’t apply to whatever contracted crew did some work on the CenterPoint gas lines today…

Now what am I supposed to do. πŸ˜’

To say I am not excited about this day is an understatement… Death by meetings ☠

As unplanned days go this was another unplanned run but it was nice out and I had good company for it. Thankful he waited an extra 15 min as I realized I forgot my shoes. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

School lunch with the Boo… πŸ‘»

Decided to change my plans today and surprise this girl for lunch today 😁. She had been begging us for the last month now that visitors can come into the school and seeing how this is the last week of school it had to get done.

I think the other kids were quite jealous of the food I brought because she said everyone else’s parents bring this. Come to find out they all want it but no one brings it. πŸ˜†

It is interesting to think that she is in 1st grade and almost done with this year and I have never really been in her classroom. Some of it is she it at a different school than her siblings but also with COVID protocols the past 2 years we were never really allowed in the school much. So it was also fun for me to see where they eat lunch and the hallways she walks down every day.

Today’s unplanned run was powered before and after by Casey’s pizza. Probably not the best choice for before but then again I wasn’t shooting to run so far today. However, I was asked and well how could turn down running with a friend. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

This was the post run pizza. 😁

Wet and rainy morning has lead to an early fire this afternoon. Pretty peaceful out in this little corner of the campground we now call β€œours” for this year and maybe beyond.

Ummm… that is not what I wanted to happen Xfinity. Now it makes sense when I looked at my phone during the middle of my run and it said activation failed and I had no service πŸ˜’πŸ€¬

Just beautiful outside today. Blue skies, a breeze, and the temps sitting at around 60Β°F. Couldn’t pass this up on a Friday morning and am thankful that my schedule was wide open so I could run a little longer than planned. πŸƒπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Can’t believe this kid turned 13 today!! We have our first teenage in the house now. 😳

I really need him to stop growing though, he is almost taller than me and I see my time in keeping up with him in basketball slipping away.

New favorite cut through trail I found a couple weeks back. Each week at dance I try to get a faster time one this little segment. Not so much this week, I think it all comes down to the footwork around this washed out part. πŸ˜†

πŸ“Έ Photoblogging - Day 31: Endurance

As much as I give this kid a hard time I applaud him for researching and finding a place to help him in basketball. Not only to work on skills but build some strength too. Not sure I can say I would have done that as a 7th grader πŸ€”

I appreciated the overcast morning. It was good to get back in the swing of things today after being gone all weekend.Tried to get a crown in one section but couldn’t give enough punch today. Come to find out wasn’t even my best time πŸ˜†.
