Vacation is over!
It's sad but it's true. Summer is here and I'm not really in the shape I'd want to be in, however I'm a graduate. Today was my first full day home and luckily (and strangely) it was absolutely gorgeous. So I figured why not go for a run.
I just signed up for the legendary Tely 10 road race. This is my first time and with that thought fresh in my mind (that I wanted to avoid complete and utter embarrassment) I pushed myself today on a run.
You can imagine my shock and dismay when I got home and googled it up. 4.5 miles.
Not bad for a first time. now the time, 45 minutes wasn't anything to brag about, but the fact that I outran my dogs the entire was was something to feel good about.
Time to go stretch... the stiffness is already setting in.

so are you at home for the summer? I thought you were off to the land of milk and honey (ie calgary)??
July 31st I head for cow-town :)
I think I was relaxing on a beach in mykonos when I said, "shag this june 30th start date, I want to get another couple of months home." So I called and with no-problemo I pushed it back... plus now I'll finally get to run the tely.
Plus, Dad bought a new cabin and some seadoos and stuff. I haven't really had the chance to get out there yet so I figured why not :)
Are you headed back fortress north america way anytime soon?
that sounds like it was a very smart move..get the vacation time in when you can!
yeah, I'm heading home very briefly in early sept..have a conference in Japan (very excited) then a whirlwind trip in canada packing in visits to toronto, montreal, halifax and st. john's in the span of two weeks. I'm a slave to 4 weeks of holidays per year, so a 4 week trip was the best I could do. (=
enjoy your time at home, and all the best to you in joining the "real world"!
