My Park

I'm going to have to learn to get used to the new layout of Blogger.  Well, I'm going to try keeping this short.  I haven't been doing much blogging lately.

Today was day two of my new exercise plan.  I did my morning turtle trot for an hour.  I went home, and slept most of the day away.  However, I was pleased that I was able to get on my stationary bike.  Yep, I did another hour of exercise on my bike.  I am please with myself for being able to do about 2 hours of physical fitness today and yesterday.  I burned about 1,100 calories.  It is the first time I think I've ever burned more calories in a day than I took in.  I ate about 900 calories today. 

Other random comments.  I received a message on my cell phone "offering" PD (professional development) for each Friday this summer for 4 hours.  Unfortunately, I don't know how to say no.  So, I'll be returning each Friday this summer until school opens getting "professional development.

Oh, and why is it that some people can be so careless with their dogs.  This morning while I was doing my turtle trot, this guy brought his rottweiler for a walk.  I've gotten so comfortable with having the whole park to myself that I was annoyed that the guy brought his dog to crap all over the place.  The dog did his business about 3 times before the guy went home.  And of course, it was too much for the guy to clean up after his dog.  What annoyed me (other than the guy letting his dog run free off the chain forcing me to keep altering my running route) was that after the guy left, about 3 or 4 minutes later, I started smelling the dog crap as I was running.  

I better go.  I need to call it a night so that I can do my morning run.  I took several photos of the park over the past couple of months, I don't have time to edit the photos and post them (with comments), so I'll just post one photo for now.  The photo was taken from the northern entrance to the park.  I run around the rectangular perimeter of the two baseball fields.
