today was an interesting day. i helped out my friend Chuck, professor at NAU (Northern Arizona University), at a parade which he prepares with his Park and Recreation students. he does it each year for the past 14 years.
a lot of stuff going on. A lot of floats, Rangers, Fire Fighters with their fire engines, boy's and girl's scouts, SAR (Search and Rescue), Verde Cavalry, Humane Society, Sudden Link, bag pipe band, Army, etc. I enjoyed it a lot. Plus i got to navigate the traffic :)
unfortunately i have only two pics, because there wasn't any time to take them.
after i got home i went for a 6.5 mile jog (usual route. down south to lake mary road and back). i felt like crap, no energy at all. my knees and ankles were bitching because i was standing for 4 hours in one place (no complaints there ;)
it took me 40 minutes to shake off the rust and than i was cruising. i haven't felt so good in a long time. my legs were in syncs, i felt as if i was flying along the trail. awesome feeling.
i got back and saw that Mom was back from her psychological thing, and there was my package with all the swimming gear. yeaaah! so i changed and we went to the gym and i went to the pool. at first it felt weird swimming for the first time in more than a year, but after half an hour or so i felt better and better. all in all i did 766 yards in 40 minutes. we'll see how it goes from there.
