Day 55 = Running + "The Office"

Soooo happy I got to be outside today. The more I get into this workout regime, the more I miss the days I can't be outside. Albeit, I only ran around the block for 30 minutes after I watched "The Office" and ate a cheeseburger from Mighty Fine Burgers (my justification is it's "Friday" to me and I've been wanting to try them), but I very much enjoy the running/walking days more than being forced to stay inside and do some reps with resistance bands. But I am determined, and I keep on truckin'.

Today is my Friday because tomorrow I'm flying to Arkansas to surprise my British stepfather, Richard. Tonight, his brother and sister-in-law flew in from England and he got the surprise of his life! Tomorrow, Richard's nephew and his girlfriend are flying in from Enlgand as another surprise. It's not his birthday, but he is a very much loved, respected and well-liked person in my inner circle of trust and he's like a father to me. He's been in my life for most of my life. We are all excited about surprising him. Even though he loves and married my American mother and moved to the US in 1993 to be with her (after we all lived in England with him), it must be hard to live in a foreign country away from family for so long. My parents are talking about retiring and moving to England. If they go, I go. Until tomorrow, cheers, mates!
