Three Things Thursday

1.  Great run this morning!  I'm in Prince George for work and one of the youth volunteers I work with asked if he could run with me in the morning.  He had to leave for his volunteer position at 7:45, so we agreed to get up and be ready to run at 6.  Sometimes when I run with these guys, they take off and leave me in their dust.  Other times, we end up doing a lot more walking than running.  This morning, we just had a great run.  We chatted the whole way about life plans and goals, the program, running, diet and exercise, physical and mental health, budgeting and other life skills.  After a 2K warm up we both made it to the top of University Hill, a 3K climb, and back to the house for an 11K run in ~1:05 (Garmin died, so we were relying on his watch).

2.  It's official.  I lost my first toe nail.  I'll spare you a photo, but the short version is that it turned black just after my marathon in October and hung on for months.  The black was finally clearing away last week and I thought I was going to have a normal toe for summer, until I was drying my feet after a shower and it just kinda peeled off.  Gross.

3.  I'm heading to Calgary for work on Sunday.  It's a 12 hour drive, and I'm doing it in one shot, by myself.  Any suggestions for a good audio book?  Remember, I'm driving - so it needs to keep me awake, not put me to sleep!
