It's getting close to that time

It's getting closer to that time for Amber to go back to school. Of course I'm going to miss her but I'll be alright. I really appreciate her, and I'm truly blessed to have found her. Tonight we saw Rush Hour 3, it was funny but not the best one out of the series. The fact, I can just sit with her and watch tv or catch a movie and just relax is all that I really need. I actually like it when she puts her legs over mine and goes into her zone. I know we have been seeing too much of each other, but what's the summer compared to the next couple of semesters? Either way, her going back to school will be good for us. I know some nights I've visited even though I was tired and sleepy but I went because she asked. I like I have a hard time saying no to her. Being the type of young lady she is, I know she is only going to do things to help us. Plus, her mom and her Aunt can throw down in the kitchen, so it's always a plus to get up and go. Anyway, I'm excited about grad school. Going to Alabama State has crossed my mind again, however, I want to stay here and save some money to buy a house. I'm not saying I'm buying a house in Pensacola or I will, but when the time comes I want to be ready. Oh well, I need to be in the bed anyway. I have a lot to do tomorrow. Peace.

201

I don't think too many people our age have seen the movie "Wildcats" about a woman who takes over a inner city high school football team from Chicago. At one point in the movie the Coach challenges all of the players to an endurance run and if she stopped running before the last person stopped she would quit the team. Well, after discussing the benefits of excercise with the summer camp kids I gave them the same challenge except the winners would get lunch. Well, since we ran inside the gym around the basketball court everyone knew that 20 laps around is one mile. Honestly, in my head I figured after 60 laps more than 3/4 of the group would be gone, however, only half had finished. And even at 100 laps there was still about 15-20 kids. But at 176 laps there was six kids still moving with a good stride. Before I knew it I had to run 201 laps to win which is 10 miles. We ran for an hour and fourty-five minutes straight without stopping and my legs are wobbly even a few hours after the fact. Before today I had never run more than six miles straight without stopping. I guess you never know what you can do until you try. Right know I'm trying to figure out how those Africans win all those marathons. Not to be offensive but ten miles hurt, I can't imagine running twenty four. Anyway, I'm praying now to get through the night without leg cramps. Overall, this was an interesting experience. I'm not sure if I will do it again though. LOL. Peace.
