To Boston and Back

"I love that dirty water, mmm Boston you're my home" - Don't know who sings it, do you?

Using it- to pledge allegiance to Boston, or sing it when the Red Sox Kick serious booty

This morning I found out I have shin splints! WOO HOO. I'm so excited. I can't decide which I'd rather have, the exploding calf or the shin splints. conviently they are both in the same leg.

Sarcasm over. I cut my run short this morning because I had to drive to the home town, south of Boston to see my Dad who was admitted to the hospital. I had hopes that my run would take my mind off it, but the entire time i was like "why am I doing this, I could be driving". So i turned around early. Oh well.

The good news is that he's ok, and i'm back in Maine, after 440 miles of driving.

i get my ipod tomorrow!! and will spend a lovely day in Bar Harbor. I'm thinking about bringing my running stuff up there, and running on the beach, we'll see how humid it's going to be. I have a pretty low tolerance.

A special shout out to the Williams' who donated their extra washing machine to Aunty M, and to K who installed it, so we could have clean clothes, and to the towels currently sopping up all the water because there was "just a little leak".

My mom's planning a visit this weekend so we can swim!
Random post over now.

    Chandra, glad to hear that your dad is okay...I also don't know what shin splints are. Call me stupid, but you should really just call me drunk.
