Absolutely Nothing - Try again tomorrow!

Well this is the view that I had at my running trail on Monday of this week. The geese were all out taking their babies for a walk.
I was hoping to get out there again this morning and also we had a bike ride planned but a migraine threw a huge monkey wrench into the whole day.

It's so frustrating when that happens because I have so many plans of things to do on my days off and today I feel like I accomplished absolutely nothing. So it's a little bit depressing when I spend the day laying around, too sick to do much of anything. But I still have one more day off so I am going to try again for a very early run and then early bike ride before it gets too hot and also it's supposed to thunderstorm.

I found this pretty on Monday as well. When I took a walk on the trail on Friday, it was gone. You can't tell from the photo but it was really tall! We had some rain today so maybe I will be finding more of these in the morning.

My daughter is with her friend and her family at a beach house in North Carolina for the next week. These are a couple of photos of things that they have found on the shore. I told her to take a lot of photos of her adventures there and we will make a photo book when she gets back. It's very beautiful there!

Well, since I'm feeling some better, there is no time like the preset to start working on some house cleaning tasks and I will keep my fingers crossed that I make it out for my run in the morning. Goodnight!

Pajamas at 6PM

After waking up this afternoon at 4pm after having worked 3 twelve hour night shifts in a row, and with almost 90 degree weather, I decided that I might not survive a run. But I knew I would feel guilty if I didn't do some sort of activity so I decided to walk the bike trail.

I didn't encounter many people on the bike trail this afternoon, just a few people on bicycles. The weather was really tropical this afternoon. I did a 3 mile out and back walk and felt just a little bit guilty for not running, but at the same time I felt satisfied that I did get a little bit of exercise in.

I saw a dead baby bird laying on the bike trail that must have fallen out of a nest from somewhere above. It made me pretty sad - he didn't really even have any feathers yet. He was pretty big for a baby bird. I wonder what kind he was. Anyway, there wasn't anything I could do at that point, he was already gone. Sad.

After my walk, I was sweaty and sticky and covered in bugs (I felt like anyway) so I came right home and showered and decided...I was just going to dress in my pajamas. Yes it was early, Friday night, about 6pm. But screw it, I wanted to be comfortable. So I put some pajamas on and cooked a little dinner - stuffed green peppers and fresh spinach sauteed in butter and white wine. (And maybe a couple of glassed of that white wine.) It was so good! I should have taken a pic!

Our plan tomorrow is a 10 mile bike ride and if I can motivate myself (I think I can, I think I can...) I will get up and run in the morning around 7am. 3 to 5 miles. I haven't decided yet, we'll see how I feel. If I want to run, I am going to have to do it early. Otherwise it will be just too hot. I'll let you know what happens!
