Looks like I am running a 5k tomorrow out at George Wyth State Park--Kickin' it for Cambodia. Hopefully this will be more fruitful than my attempt to run Lincoln to Lincoln last week. The weather should be nice. It is supposed to be windy, but hopefully that won't start until afternoon. We are supposed to have a warm weekend. Close to 90 on Sunday--but windy and humid. Bill won't do the race with me tomorrow. He's got ju jitsu.
On a side note, I think running races might be counter productive to my weight loss efforts. Let me predict what will happen tomorrow: I will run 3.1 miles, burning about 310 calories. Then I will eat at least 600 calories (at the very least) worth of post race refreshments.
The little dogs (Gus and Murphy) are at daycare today. Karl is home--he is too old, big, and lazy for daycare. I've worked on my online course that I am teaching, Psych of Aging, this morning, and I've done some "chores" around here. Might take a nap this afternoon! I am trying to only go into my office a couple of days a week right now. In a few weeks, summer orientation will start, and that will have me on campus most days, so I am enjoying the flexibility I have for the rest of May. It seems like I have a long list of work tasks to tackle, but some days I have lots of motivation while others days I have virtually no motivation. Thus is life, I guess.
After Psych of Aging is over, I will start teaching an online courses called Families, Alzheimer's, & Related Dementias. I am still in the process of prepping for this course. It's a new course--the only one of its kind in Iowa of which I am aware. I am excited about this class. Students will have to watch parts of an HBO documentary series called the Alzheimer's Project--which is incredibly interesting and well-done.
Oh, and after almost a month on Weight Watchers, I think I've lost about 1-2 pounds. I am eating healthier though, so I'm proud of that. If I could lose 10 pounds, I'd be thrilled, but if not, that's okay, too.
