Where has the week gone???

Wow, this has been a big week in our house. First my boy Clint graduated from High School on Tuesday. What an awesome feeling to see the completion of this chapter in his life. Also to know that in August he is moving to SF to go to college. Yipee!!!! Oh, did I say that out loud? =)) Actually I'm very, very, excited for him. He is going to have such a great time and the memories will be forever. I really hope he enjoys this new adventure.

On Thursday Mark and I went to the SD county fair to see a sneak preview of the photography exhibit. I had entered 3 pictures and the one that I has hoping to get a ribbon did get Honorable mention. How exciting is that? Well, they only showcase 1/3 of the 4000 entries in the exhibit hall. So that made me feel very special and very proud. I think it's very cool.

Saturday was a drive up to Buena Park for the SFSU orientation. So pretty much an all day affair. Clint got his classes and we got some questions and the feeling to uncertainty seem to diminish and Clint has begun to feel the excitement as well. This is so cool. Now we can't wait for July when we take our backpacking trip to Alaska for his graduation present. What a fun time of year this is for my boy!!

Sunday morning run 11 ish miles in my new compression socks. They jury is still out on this new concept for me. Although I feel good when I run in them my legs seem to go through some changes during the longer runs. I feel that maybe I will only use them for recovery and not on long runs. First 3 miles calves were cramping, next 2 miles quads cramping, next 3 miles felt great no issues and on the last few miles both calves were cramping again and feeling a bit uncomfortable. So, I think that I will only be using them for recovery. Which is fine and a great tool for me to use because of my lower leg swelling that I tend to get.
