I'm excited...

Happy Monday, er, Tuesday!

I've been having one of those days.  I love long weekends, but do you ever get one and feel like you don't have time for it?  As in, I kinda need five days this week to get my to do list done!  Oh well.  Having too much to do usually swings me into super-productive mode and today was no different.  I was crossing things off that list, left, right and centre.  Everything except the 5 miles on my schedule.  I had my shoes on twice before I actually headed out the door.

When I finally got out, I ran very randomly in all sorts of directions to fit the miles in.  It was sorta interesting.  I discovered where the Red Bluff Indian Band office is.  Huh.  And I found a street I didn't know existed.  I played around with my pace, and just had fun on this run, without really thinking about anything in particular, or focussing on any aspect of my running, or letting my mind wander back to the work that waited for me at home.  It was a good run, and I think I've got my motivation back for tomorrow's kinda long run.

Tomorrow, I meet the new volunteers in the youth program I work for.  I haven't been on airport duty since my first contract, when I lived in one of the houses with the youth, but tomorrow it will just be me at the airport, welcoming them to my region and the program!  It's kinda like the first day of school, except these guys are going to be living together for the next 6 months, and they are coming from across the country, and a third of them don't speak the same language and everything is brand new to them.  And I'm the BIG BADDY who has to tell them all of the rules.  But that's Thursday.  Tomorrow is just airport fun!  (After my 9 mile run, that is).

Je n'ai pas parler en francais cet ete (ou est les accents?)!  Je dois pratiquer avant demain!
