So long sweet summer...

Wow, summer is really gone.

I can't believe how quickly it happened. I feel like it wasn't that long ago when the school year was ending. Now a whole new one is beginning. Just when we thought the madness was over, an entirely new round of it is in the works.

The good news is that I don't feel nearly as stressed out as I was this time a year ago. That first year of teaching is a beating, and I'm so glad I already have it under my belt! I feel so much more energized and refreshed, and I hope it will last the duration of the year. I know there will be some valleys of fatigue, but that's to be expected.

I'm also feeling great with my running lately. I feel stronger than I ever have, and I'm pumped for the half marathon I'm running this Sunday. And I'm definitely not going to let the flippin' blisters that took residence on a few of my toes get in the way of capturing that PR I want. Bring it, uggos.

The Cowboys are winning right now, but the Rangers are not. I'm going to need them to step it up. The race for the AL wild card is too close with Boston, and we can't afford to fall any. As for the 'Boys, their new stadium
is wicked awesome, though we are definitely witnesses to a few glitches that need to be worked out before the actual season begins. And could someone please give Martellus Bennett a few more accolades? I can't help but love that guy! I know he's done a few goofy things, and that's probably one reason I like him so much, but he's also a useful asset on the field. I could throw in an Aggie jab right now, but I have a few friends who are A&M grads and would not like that much (though, does anyone actually read this blog?).

We just scored again. Gosh, I love my 'Boys. No doubt, this is a good Friday night.
