Rough Start to the Day
I slept in pretty late on Sunday morning to try to make up for my lack of sleep on Friday night. I was hoping to go for a run in morning. I was going to drive to a nearby trail to run. When I went out to the car I realized that one of my tires was flat and the muffler was beginning to fall off of the car. I spent the rest of the morning and early afternoon with my Father trying to salvage the car to make it driveable.
We did our best to repair the car and then I had to drive back to MA to work in the fieldhouse. I spent a few hours working at my job in the gym in the late afternoon and then met some of the women on the team to lift. I observed them while they did their workout.
Around 6 p.m. I met my friend Ben at Forest Park in Longmeadow, MA for a run. I was so happy to be going for a run. I was wanting to run all weekend and was relieved to finally get a chance to go out and explore. We ran in the trails for about a half hour and then ran for about 40 minutes on the roads and sidewalks in the park. I felt pretty good and was wishing I had time for a longer run. After the run we got some dinner and I then had to head back to school.
For the rest of the night I have to work on about three different assignments. I am setting a time limit on my work to stop by midnight to make sure I can get at least seven hours of sleep.

Hi Liz, Unfortunately, I am still up... urgh.. we ran on some of the trails but it was too dark to remember the cross country course. I have to find out if there are still races there. It was so fun when we used to race there. Hope you had a great night!

Hi Kim - it was awesome to see you on Saturday night. I had such a good time meeting you and all of your friends. The car situation is not great but it is getting me where I need to go. I think some individuals in the party who transferred the car to me feel badly. Hope you had a safe trip home!
