Time for a Long Run
Once a runner… always a runner. If I go for a long period without running, my body begins to hate me. I crave long runs. Today was one of those days. I am not a big fan of running in the area where I live. It stinks, it’s really rocky and uneven and even though I have lived here for something like 5 months or so… I still get lost. Today, I didn’t care. I had to go. So this morning, I put on the shoes and headed out. I think I ran at least 4 or 5 miles. It was a great time to de-stress and unload. I have been planning my trip back to the states and preparing for that time, which includes raising support. I am not a big fan of raising support but it is the only way I am able to be here. So that has been stressing me out a little.
After my run I did a good workout. I lifted some concrete blocks and did curls. It was a lot of fun using my make shift gym. I created a schedule for running and working out and drew it on my wall so I could see it everyday.
This was the last weekend for Ella, Gracie, Lucy and William so we all tried to have some bonding time. It was a lot of fun. More of a relaxed day. I am really going to miss this group. They have been great. We really feel like a family here. I wish everyone could stay.
We have a team coming in tomorrow, so it will be back to work this week. I feel like we haven’t had a team in forever, but that isn’t the truth. We have just been enjoying our time off.
It is getting late, so I am heading to bed.
Always with Love,
Stephen
