New Life - Day Twelve

Today was a good day! Got up at the normal 4:45am and took a really nice hot shower. Got to work a little later than usual, but it was all good. I figured out that two laps around the interior perimeter of our ramp is a little over a mile. So, my goal was 2 laps this morning. I started walking and got one lap around and decided to take a small break to stretch my back out. I only stopped for about 2 minutes, so that wasn't bad. On the second lap, I was hurting pretty bad, but I said "Screw it, hurts anyways, might as well finish!" So, I pressed on and finished. I sat at the picnic table and watched some airplanes startup and leave and listened to some more music. I'm loving my iphone armband. A blessing since my compression shorts don't have pockets. The mornings recently have been so beautiful! I mean, really nice out. Nice enough so it's not cold, but warm enough to not wear long pants and long sleeves. The sunrises have been awesome too! I tell ya what...that first lap, I felt like jogging, but didn't want to push it with my knee. Work was great today...got a bunch done and helped the mechanics do a few things today on the floor. It was sticky out there today! Just warm and muggy. I have a lot of respect for those guys working in the heat. Tomorrow is garage day...Matt and I are emptying out the garage and we're cleaning it out and putting everything back. We went to Menards tonight and I found a huge utility shelf unit for $50 on sale that we desperately need to organize stuff. I bought a new garbage can, a new broom and some shop rags too. I can't wait to work on it tomorrow. Dan and I are going to Northbrook tomorrow to pick up a jeep top. Hopefully it will fit in the Suburban. Otherwise, we're strapping that puppy to the roof rack. :) I can't wait to work on the garage. Next purchase is going to be chairs, tv, and a heater to keep it warm. I want to work in there so bad!! My little man-cave getaway will be awesome soon. I've got wireless speakers out there already, but we'll see. I found a couch for it too (Third Seat from the suburban :)...hehe!) Should be cool. I got in touch with a friend tonight that I've missed so much. So good to hear from her. She's the best. Well, I'm off to bed. Gotta get up early tomorrow. Hope you all have a great night tonight. Thanks again for reading. :) Goodnight my friends. I love ya.
