October 2, 2009

Went on a "mini" run this morning. The first time running has felt good since completing the August half marathon. Didn't even go two miles =) Later went on a kayak tour with Julie and my parents - my dad is 82! The water off La Jolla was like glass. We managed to tip over on the way in though - in a wave that was probably five inches high - ha ha. Too funny! Good thing my dad was not in the kayak with me. Not sure how this prepared me for next summer's climb. I did use it to justify a huge Mexican dinner with margaritas and tons of chips. Walking around the San Diego Zoo with my parents on Thursday afternoon in the heat might qualify as climbing preparation. We did see some animals that are native to Tanzania.

this is a former house plant that I tired of, I didn't want to throw it out, so I dug a hole for it in the dog yard. It's thriving despite me.
