What a weird day (so far!)

  •  I got up and ran 5 miles this morning. That’s not weird. I’ve been doing that most mornings for the past several weeks. What’s weird is that I saw this bat on the sidewalk during the run.
  • I initally thought it was dead, and when I stopped to check it out…it started moving, using its talons to crawl along the sidewalk. Instead of freaking out, I was fascinated. I kind of wanted to touch it! (Don’t worry, I didn’t!) I used a to stick to move it off the sidewalk into the grass and went on my merry way. I’m sure it was dying or diseased. It’s not normal for nocturnal creatures to be out during the day.
  •  It was quite warm and humid already at 6:30am-74 degrees with 80% humidty! Needless to say I was soaked!
  •  You might be able to see that the only dry place was where my sports bra was! Oy! However, despite the crazy humidty and heat I’ve been doing great on my runs these last 2 mornings. Previously, I’ve been walking more than I’d like due to the temps and my heart condition. My mile times have been averaging 11:20/mile. The last 2 days? 10:45/mile! Running has been easier and my miles 4 & 5 split times are 10:10 and 10:05! Getting Speedy! 🙂
  • Today is one of my co-worker’s birthdays. I made her Oreo Balls. (Random fact about me: I don’t like to eat the baked goods I make. So if I make something I rarely want to eat it. Not sure why, I just don’t do it.)
  • The most strange thing that happened today? If you use LinkedIn you know how you can see who has viewed your profile? Well I did that today, and the Former Lt. Governor of Nebraska (Rick Sheehy) viewed my profile! That initself wouldn’t be so odd-I’m in the News Business, it says that on my profile. Except that he recently resigned due to official misconduct. He was using a state-issued cell phone to call women (who were not his wife!) and talk to them for hours!

  •  My boss asked if I was going to be a part of the former Lt. Gov’s next scandal…and I told him no way! I don’t plan on sleeping my way to the top!

That’s been my day. And it’s only 1:30pm! What does the afternoon have in store? Happy Hump Day friends!
