Running this morning went well. I can honestly say it was easier than it was last week to get to 2 miles. Only had to stop once for a rest. I can really see what people mean when they say rest days are the most important days of the week; I see now how I have burned myself out in the past trying to kill it jogging every single morning, and usually letting it slip and then giving up after 3 or 4 days.

Having company is so exhausting, I am having fun with my aunt here but am looking forward to some alone time again.

We had a great day today, she was dying to see the turtles so I took her to a beach here on the west coast in front of a restaurant called Ramshackle. The heat was killer today, sun was blaring and it made the water brilliant aqua:

It's so beautiful I shit myself and then puked.
