19 August - Losing myself

So now that Skylar has camp so early in the morning and I have to bring him up there, I have been able to get out early enough to beat the heat. This morning I ran with him to camp. He was on bike and I jogged along side. Like I said, it is completely uphill, so we move like molasses anyway. It's a great warm up. The road we ride up into the park is kind of narrow and has a sharp turn around the bend, so I have trying to see if there is an alternate route because the buses come up that way and it makes me nervous. So across from the entrance there is another paved road, and I decided to run that way and see where it leads. I came to a choice of right or left and chose right because there was a sign that said Heilbronn. I ran and ran and ran and for nearly an hour and finally came out by the University. I have no idea how I ran completely around Heilbronn, but at least from there I knew my way.

Had a bit of trouble motivating myself on my research this morning. The day passed relatively quickly though and it was time to go get Skylar. Up the hills I went with my legs complaining the whole way. At the beginning and end of each day there is this group of teenagers that play music as the kids come and go. It's really cute and sometimes they are dressed up. Today they were dressed as ancient Greeks. Skylar said today went better than yesterday and the kid didn't bother him anymore. They had a water fight and he got completely soaked. He still doesn't like it though. His favorite part is the ride home.
