Life back in the states
So far life in the states is just as i left it... busy! I've worked 3 out of the 4 days for about 6 hours at the chicken coop, and did 2.5 hours of work at a person's house doing yard work. When i returned home, it really hit me... I only have just over a month to get ready to my half-iron man in August... I should really start getting more serious about my training. So that's what i've been doing. On friday morning, i woke up a 5 am and went running for 12 miles. That was the most boring run ever! I ran to schoolcraft and back... through the middle of corn fields (i was on the roads, but corn is on every side of me!). Then later i swam for 3000 yards. This isn't much but i haven't swam much for about 15 days because of my mission trip to England, and i'm hurtin in that area.
So, i went to the fireworks in south haven last night with the family and some family friends. We got there around 6 and ate dinner down on the beach. Then we walked to Dairy Queen and got some ice cream. On the way there we played a game to see who saw the first person they knew... I won! WOO HOO! I was pumped. Then we went down the beach and made a couch in the sand... i was so 'mint.' Then we played Eucher. Me and my sister vs Tom and Linda. We both won one game... but we all know who is better. Anyways... the fireworks were going to start at 10:15, and we knew that we would never get up the stairs with all the people on the beach, so we went to the top of the stairs and watched them next to a cop car. My dad decided to look into the cop car to "see what was on the computer screen!" I thought he was going to beat down with their sticks. Then... just a little later, they got a call about a person with a weapon, and jumped into the car and raced off, going about 40 on street filled with people! The fireworks started about 15 minutes late.... but they totally rocked! After the grande finale, we ran back to the car. i wasn't wearing any shoes and i was jogging on the side of the road and my big toe found a rather hard thing. It hurt really bad. I thought i broke it. I was so frusterated, because i was planning on doing the firecracker run in Schoolcraft, and i have a triathlon next sunday. However, i don't think it's broken, just jammed really bad. We got back at about 12:30.
But, i gotta go now... i going to church!
