Public does not mean you can dominate!

I decided to do my 3 mile this morning instead of yesterday because I am doing the 14 mile on my own on Thursday and I didn't want to do my short runs on Mon/Wed and then my long run the next day. So I will stretch tomorrow and then do my long run this Thursday since I am leaving for ITALY! on Friday.

Anyway, back to this morning. I went on my run about 8am which is way too late to be running in this heat. I will start my long run at either 5 or 5:30. My small loop goes through a public park near my place where apparently at 8am a running camp for kids starts. So halfway through my run I am tripping over kids who are either a) zooming past me cause they are doing sprints, b) walking the loop as a group therefore making a blockade across the path, or c) walking back and forth across the path from the field to the picnic tables where their water is. While I understand that it is not my path and it does not need to be cleared for my goddess-like presence, I do feel that the camp counselors should talk to the kids about path courtesy, such as not forming a blockade and looking at the path before crossing it to make sure they don't cut somebody off. I feel like this is not too much to ask.

Off my rant though, today was a decent run except for the kids. I went a touch faster than usual and even though it was hot I felt good. I'm hoping that if I start early on Thursday, then that run will go well too. After my run, I went to Tae Kwondo where I got an EXCELLENT workout in. We really worked on our forms which works every muscle in my body and leaves me winded. I am proud to say that my step-jump-sidekick is starting to look really awesome. Unfortunately, my high-low switch block still has a booty shake going on.

I got a couple more checks in the mail for my fundraising and I am still waiting on one of my larger donations that was promised to me. I am thinking of doing a dinner event. I need to speak with the owner of the restaurant who is a relative of mine. I think it could be a big event if I do it right. I feel a little greedy fundraising like this when others haven't hit their minimum. I also realize it is charity so it is hard to call it greedy, but that is how I feel.

Thanks for following and share my stories with others and help fight blood-related cancers!! Come back on Thursday to see how my first 14 miles on my own goes!
