SCHOOL SURE PUTS A KINK IN MY BLOGGING

It is amazing how all-consuming the first full week of school can be. I have done some good running, albeit it scattered, lately...but no chance to really blog. I have not even had time to read my normal mainstays. I love reading everyone's blogs as much, if not more, as writing my own.

I am hoping that I get back on track later this week and get caught up with my blogging friends. I have not forgotten about you, but my kids/teachers need me to be focused - especially at the beginning of the new school year.

Did have a pretty good run yesterday. Got in a little over 8 miles on a VERY hot day. The temperature was 91+ and when you add in the humidity, it was well over 95 degrees at 6:00pm when I ran. Although the heat was brutal, the run was great. Even ran into one of my former students who decided to drive beside me for a while (and talk a little SMACK) I ran through a local neighborhood. Students sure get bold and cocky right after graduation...........cracks me up to no end.

Too funny, you can be a hero or a jerk in a lot of students minds. I haven't gotten acclimated to the heat and probably won't.

That kid in the car I'm sure was a riot. You should still figure out a way to give him a detention. Now, all that you need to do is figure out where he is going to college....

I can only imagine what it is like to be back at school and the chaos of beginning a new year.

Nice stress reliever to get in 8 even on a hot day.

Take care.

I myself used to be a teacher, but I am currently employeed as a High School Principal I love my work, I love my family, and I enjoy running to take the edge off. I come from a long line of military men.
