Warm Weed Eating

Today it is very hot. It is about time it feels like summer. I did some weed eating this morning until it got too hot to continue. Thankfully, I was able to finish the job just a bit after I was feeling exhausted.

Fun Sun

Today I played pickleball. I've noticed how well I play is exponentially related to the amount of sleep I get the night before. My uncle and cousin are in town for a couple days from southern California. It looks like they may have brought up some nice weather with them.

Fireworks on the Fifth

Today I went to a "fourth of July" fireworks show. Obviously, it isn't the fourth. It was a pretty decent show with a good finale. While leaving a guy said to have a happy fourth, I felt like telling him I already did, and a happy fifth but I appreciated the sentiment and just said thanks.

The 4th

Today is the 4th of July. A day to watch other people light off fireworks and to have a barbecue.I hear some outdoor pickleball might even go down.

Race On

Today I ran my first official 5K. Last night, my father told me about one at the island he has been painting a house on. With little training in that distance or expectations, I decided I would go for it. It was two laps around the island. There were about twenty other runners and a bunch of walkers going one lap around the island. I ran until it hurt and then ran some more until I crossed the finish line. I ended up finishing in 19 minutes and 16 seconds and was second place overall. Not too bad.

Life in the Fast Lane

Game On

Today I played pickleball. The Man challenged me to a game of singles. It had been such a long time since we last battled, I didn't know how well I would do. I eventually won the first game, which means I did very well. Fatigue set in during the next two games which I lost, but in a respectable manner. Hopefully there will be many more such battles and occasional victories.
