3 Things

There are 3 things in life I have always proclaimed as being aweful. 1.Mornings 2.Running 3.Cockroaches I can't believe I am saying this, but I actually prefer to get up early in the morning now. My health is better than it has been in 15yrs or more, I sleep wonderfully and wake without pain! I actually have so much more time in the day to accomplish things, and taking a midafternoon nap is still okay because I have already been awake for so long! Now, Cate has been up since 4am the last 2 days due to good ol' jetlag, but I think this is a bit excessive. The sun won't rise for another 3 hrs. I now view being greeted by the morning sun as a pleasant way to rise! And running. Slow torturue I would call it. There was no worse way to "exercise", between being totally out of breathe, killing my knees and hips, and not to mention it's incredibly boring. Again, I can't believe I am saying this, but, I am running now! No big distances yet, but I am running about 2 miles every other day, or at last that's my goal now that we are back home. I would like to join a 10k race in the end of August, but we shall see. Oh, Cockroaches. Well, I still think they are among the most grotesque things on earth! We have encountered 2 very large ones since being home. I am normally quite against chemicals such as insect sprays and the like, but for cockroaches, I must do whatever necassary to get them out of my house!
