9/17 and on in LOCO

There are some technical difficulties at the moment, so the pictures will have to come later. As you can guess, i am in virginia right now. The land where i spent the last three years of my life. I arrived on thursday. It was a rainy day and i was glad to only have to do 6 miles until my buddy nathan picked me up in harpers ferry. It was fun to go to cross country practice and meet all of the new runner, after getting cleaned up of course.

Friday i had the pleasure of talking to the kids in Mr Sheppard's outdoor education class. They were surprisingly attentive, and even a block schedule class was not enough time to answer all of their questions. Then i got to sit in on a science department meeting; not much has changed. Luckily there was a teacher get together after school and i got to say hi to almost every teacher i wanted to see. I hope i did not miss anyone. If i did, sorry, i will pass by again when i finish. After that was a traditional trip to the movies with me and Nathan and another buddy, Bailey. We saw extract, which was funny, but i would not buy it on dvd. That should be a great description for those that know me.

Saturday, i did not know what i was thinking. I decided to run a race, a 10k. It was pretty painful, but i did get third and stayed under 37 minutes. Not bad for 3 months of no running. The rest of the day i accompanied nathan to his sister's birthday party in richmond; we manned the grill. I hope i can have a party that cool when i turn 30.

Sunday, football all day with NFL sunday ticket at bailey's house. I did not move my butt for 9 hours. It was great.

Monday, nathan hiked with me 20 miles from harper's ferry to snickers gap (rt 7). He said "you hike a pretty good pace." The hike brought back memories of when fritz and i did the same hike with only 20 oz of water on a hot hot day.

Tomorrow i am out on my own again, until the weekend when two teachers are going to hike with me no matter where i am.

It seems like this will be over before i know it. I better not have any regrets...
