So far, the commuting by bike is going well. The first day it took me about 40 minutes. Today I did it in about 25. Of course, summer weather is kicking in. This morning it was 65 degree and very humid before I left for work. I bring a change of clothes with me so I am not totally sweaty at work. This afternoon I ran with my friend Jamie. He helped me train through the winter. During today's run, I was reminded of why I run 5K's in the winter. I overheat. The sun, the humidity, and I are not a good combination. Also, my tendinitis is kicking in. Tomorrow I am going to swim.

James, Jamie, and I are running a 5K for Potter Park Zoo next week. It took me about 33 minutes to run 5K today in the heat. Plus I am still out of shape. I am shooting for a 30 minute finish (a far cry from my previous goal of 24 minutes). It's a good cause and should be fun. After the race, I am going to help Courtney and Joe with their yard sale. I have a few things I am selling too. :)

Here are a few photos from our trip to Rochester for Mother's Day. We went to Mex for Lisa's birthday.







I am dog/cat/house-sitting at Courtney and Joe's for the next week. It is really good timing because lately I have been looking at adoptable dogs on-line again. They are going to Mexico to celebrate Courtney's successful defense. I think I would like a beachy vacation. I have never really done that. We went to Florida last year on spring break, but it was cold. :( But as a reminder, here is a photo:
