Thursday morning

Hi Thursday! How are you? Are you going to be good to me? That would be nice, because I really, really want to get everything finished up today, so tomorrow I can do some other things. I promise to work extra hard today.

I'm not surprised very often. I figured out my 30th birthday party, which was in New Zealand. One of the guys attending said something about it, revealing the secret. I was surprised on my 40th. I begged for no surprises on my 50th, and my wishes were honored. Last night I was totally, totally surprised. My sneaky sisters organized a surprise Boston Marathon celebration. It was a surprise and so nice. Lots of people, cake, and just a nice, nice surprise. Some of my endurance buddies even showed up. Thanks Larry, John, Tim, and Mike.

The surprise came on a night when I was tired and ready to go home. I got over all that pretty quickly. I am such a party animal! Yesterday was a full day, and it wore me out. I ran 5 hilly miles early, met with people, saw people, talked with people, studied, squeezed in a very hilly 10 mile bike ride, drove the golf team to Stonecrest for practice, studied on the bus, returned the bus, drove home for 15 minutes to eat, returned to church, taught a class, and then "SURPRISE!"

Today I've got a pretty full day again. I want to get my sermon and slides done. I am speaking at St. Vincent Dunn around midday, followed by another window of work opportunity. Then it's another bus trip to Stonecrest for practice, which gives me 2 hours to either run or study or both. Then I should get back in time to swim this evening at 8.

Tomorrow I hope to swim in the morning at 9 and then ride 60 miles after that. I may try do a run after that. I think I will tri. Get it?

Better get started...

ALLEN, I wish I could have made it last night. Lou Ann called me on Monday, but you know how it is to get away. My thoughts last night were with you.
