It's been a pretty chill kind of day. Maggie and I (okay, mostly me) got out of bed later than usual this morning. I got a phone call at 8:10 a.m. from Mary from Alfred (think "the lake" from this summer). It is weird how the world works.

A couple of days ago I emailed my tenants and told them that I would be starting school in the fall and needed to list the house. As luck (?) would have it, the female tenant works with Alfred Mary. (By the way, Mary has had dinner at my house with the new tenants. How bizarre is that?) Anyway, female tenant told Mary that I was starting school and selling my house. Mary called this morning asking about buying the house. I am not sure how I feel about this, but I know that I need to move on. She and her husband were pre-approved for a mortgage last week so theoretically they are ready to go. It's just weird. I want things to stop being connected. I want things to not rear their ugly heads when I am doing well.

After finally dragging my body out of bed I took Mags out to play ball. While playing ball, I talked with Kristin with the twins on the phone for a bit. She and the babes sound great. Rumor has it they are growing quickly and are now real live baby sized! They were a little demanding on their mama when we were talking, but much like us they have a lot to say.

I was planning for a six miler today, but wasn't going to be horribly disappointed if I didn't make it. Auburn does not have fantastic running routes, so it's been hard to find anything over three miles. Anyway, I got dressed and headed to the Y to hit the treadmill. It was so nice heading down the driveway that I decided it would be an outside run day. I had tracked a route yesterday that was about five-ish miles, but filled with hills. Long, gradual hills. Since it was a n out and back loop there was no avoiding them. I hit one big one getting to the major road and did well. I got onto the four lane (don't worry...it's "only" 30mph) and hit the shoulder. Gradual uphill followed by a gradual downhill. Turned the traffic circle and headed back up the hill on the other side of the road. Finished up with a decent sized hill. It wasn't long into the run before I had off my track jacket and was running in a sleeveless shirt. It felt great. On the way back in, it started to rain but I didn't give up. How could I really? I was a couple of miles from home. Anyway, I finished running when I hit the Y. I did a quick set of weights and called it a workout. All in all I didn't do too bad considering that the wind was pretty strong and there were plenty of hills. (See workout summary to the left if you are just dying to know exactly how I did.)

I am a spitter while running. I don't care if a car is coming or someone is coming down the sidewalk. For some reason running really produces a ton of phlegm, so you have to hack it up. My nose was slightly chilly and started to run. I looked around to make sure no one was coming and I let it fly. I did. I farmer blew. Not just one nostril, but two. I would NEVER do this while running with a group or in a race, but I had to let it rip today. I can't say that I am anxious to do it again, but it served a purpose today.

This evening is wicked crazy with Mags snoring on the couch and "Hogan Knows Best" on the tv. It's really going to get super exciting later when I pull out the Frosty Paws and Haagen Dazs.

I know. Pretty crazy for a 32 year old single girl on a Saturday night!
