Back to reality

So I've been back in Dunedin for a few days now.  I've slept a lot and am freezing my arse off at home!!  I had to take a shower in the middle of the day on Sunday just to warm up!  Seriously, it's not that cold outside but indoors sucks, even with an electric blanket.  Weather has been a pain.  My pelagic (ocean) birding trip was cancelled over the weekend.  And I'm supposed to have 3 field days this week...one has already been postponed, tomorrow's should be a go, but Friday's weather isn't looking good either.  All I can say is blah!  The only good thing about cancelled field work is that I have more time to work on other things.

I'm back into a workout routine.  Due to all the back pain I've experienced over the last couple of months and taking a 3-week vacation, I've decided there's not enough time to train for the half-marathon in Sept.  But there is a 10k (6.2 miles) run in October that I might sign up for.  I can already run 4k so I'm off to a good start.

It was sooooooo fabulous to be home in Minnesota!!  I really don't have the words to explain.  I just wish I would've had more time to spend with my peeps.  LA was great.  I'm so happy to have shared Scott and Leo's wedding day.  It was great spending a few days with them and getting to know Leo.  Lots of great memories!  I'll get photos up as soon as I have the time!
