May 15: A Run, an Awards Ceremony, and a Choir Practice

Yes, it's a gorgeous day in the Upper Peninsula.  The sun is shining.  A warm wind is blowing.  People are lining up at the Tastee Freeze for ice cream.  And I don't have that nagging anxiety any more.

I just got back from a 5K run.  It was wonderful.  My feet felt great.  I only took one short walking break (less than a quarter mile).  I didn't even start sweating until after I was finished.  When I stopped running, however, I looked like Jackie Gleason in a sauna.

It's going to be an eventful night.  I'm attending an awards ceremony with my family.  My daughter participated in a healthy living program all year long, and tonight is the culmination of all her work.  Supposedly, she's going to receive some kind of prize.  I just hope it's not a year's supply of cucumbers.

After the awards, I will head over to church to play for a choir practice.  Yes, I have to sit and play a pipe organ for an hour after a run, awards, and twelves hours of work.  And now all my disciples are thinking, "What did you do to piss off God?"

Well, that's between God and Saint Marty.
