Last week's activities provide a good representation of what a typical week nowadays looks like for me:
- Monday: Special Chamber of Commerce meeting that was a complete waste of time; tornado warning that night
- Tuesday: All day in Rapid at a (free!) conference put on by the South Dakota Community Foundation
- Wednesday: Opening (finally!) of the new Tribal grocery store, Turtle Creek Crossing; City Council meeting
- Thursday: Homeowner education class
- Friday: Frustrating conference call; more relaxed after a good, sweaty run
High school cross country begins in August, and I've already promised to help out with the team. (Didn't track just end?) And after Spearfish, I'm only registered for one more race, a half marathon in Sioux Falls in mid-September. I'm still shooting for sub-1:30.
As far as Habitat goes, we're halfway through a 10-week stretch of visiting volunteer groups helping out on the job site. This week, we have a group of high school students from suburban Minneapolis. I got a good vibe from them when they arrived last night. I may have even recruited a running partner or two for the week.
Tomorrow was supposed to be the last night in the softball regular season. However, with last Monday's storms, we have to make-up a couple games. Even though some of my teammates have pissed me off at times and I have felt as though I should have played better some nights, it has been a fun time. I would like to avoid any additional injuries the rest of the way.
Speaking of my softball mishaps... I'm going to have a scar just beneath my left eyebrow for at least some time. It's definitely noticeable, but not disfiguring. And the scrape on my right knee would have healed faster if I hadn't kept picking at the scab. But then that would have been no fun.
