Focus

Some days I just can't seem to focus and get anything worthwhile done.  This week has been one of those days.  I've had a great week out of the office.  But here I'm struggling.  It's allowed me to get some reading done but I'm not comprehending much of the reading because the focus just isn't there.  I'm glad it's Friday and Labor Day weekend is staring me in the face.  Maybe the break will help.

Oh and welcome back college football.  I've missed you.

A comeback?

I've actually thought about returning to the blog world.  Hmmm...

Moving

Don't worry. I'm staying in Kokomo for now. But I pretty much don't use this thing anymore. I've moved most of my activities to Facebook and Twitter. paulweavertweet The thing that I'm thinking I'll like about twitter is using being able to use my phone to do it and people will be able to get text updates when I do use it.

Backpacking

I've spent the last two weeks backpacking in Kentucky. First week was with guys. Second with girls. What a difference. I'm really tired. I sprained my right ankle about 4 miles into the first trip. It's still swollen. I have about 10 chigger bites. It's very good to be home.

Where have I been

I haven't posted in forever. I'd say I'm sorry but I'm really not. I've spent almost all of my time online looking for a newer car. I want someone to sell me a $50,000 car for $5,000. I exagerrate but not by much. So let's see what did May hold? I ran a half marathon and wanted to die afterwards. I met my goal of running the whole time but was pretty slow. I also took Colleen to Carb Day down at the track. We had a good time. She still loves cars. This month has two backpacking trips and possibly a short mission trip for our college students. Oh and I need to find a car.

Myrtle Beach

We made our usual trip down to Myrtle Beach. Steph's uncle has added a hot tub and it's a great addition. We play Man O War golf course. Plenty of water means plenty of lost balls. There were back to back island greens. Laura cracked me up. She really knows how to play her dad. She wanted to go putt putting. I asked her why trying to talk her out of it. She said "It's a tradition". So we went putt putting. It was a little cool but we had to go to the beach. I found a really awesome sharks tooth while I was wading in the water. I have to convince people that I found it. It's so cool they think I bought it somewhere.

And of course here are pictures of girls at the beach.

Ugh

So I ran today trying to get ready for the mini. I am way off of my training because of being sick. I ran 10 miles. I wanted to quit after 6. Luckily I ran way out in the country so I would have to make it home. Then after 7 miles it hurt again and I wanted to quit again. 8 was a little better. 9 was awful. I got home and hurt bad. My stomach hurt so I thought maybe it was because I was thirsty. I drank some lemonade. Then I ate some watermelon. Neither of those helped. I took a bath and then a shower and everything felt better except for my stomach. Then about an hour and a half after I got back from running I threw up. I feel better now. I'm worried about getting 13 miles in in a couple of weeks. Hopefully I'll make it.
