i've really let myself go

poor diet, lack of exercise, and minimal sleep have all contributed to a general malaise that i have been feeling lately. but i need to remind myself that this is prime time - summer - the time of year i dream of when it is cold and wet and dark at 4:30.

i got out for a quick 45 minute trail run last night after the storms swept through. it was a good opportunity to see how the new montrail rockridge trail shoes hook up in the mud. the answer is: they hook up very well indeed. the lugs are rugged enough to lock into the trail surface but still allow for comfortable running on pavement stretches. i'm really feeling the trail running right now...and like i've said before, i'm just going to go with what feels right at any given moment.

robin and i split the night sleeping on different levels of the house to try and get each of us at least a little uninterrupted sleep. calvin's fever has diminished some and we decided he could go back to daycare today. he also slept a little better last night only getting up twice.

happy thursday.
