Today’s Laura’s birthday… she just got on the phone with her parents, so I figure I have time to do a quick update.
Today was a pretty good day… nothing spectacular going on at work, just getting ready to head up to Arlington for the Arkansas game this weekend.
I went with my mom this afternoon to go visit Laura at the school for her birthday. We brought her cupcakes and juice to share with her kids as well as some flowers to go on here desk 
I decided to go back to the mall one last time to see if I could find Laura’s raincoat that she wanted… this trip was finally a success! I found the red raincoat in her size that she tried on a few weeks ago.
So I snagged up her raincoat, then headed back home to head out on my run for the day. Everything was going well… the weather was beautiful – a little warm, but very nice.
I got about a half mile away making it back to the house, and my allergies got to me and I let out a huge sneeze while running. Immediately I thought of this episode of Parks and Recreation, where the boss sneezes and gives himself a hernia. But, pretty much as quickly as I’d thought about it, I forgot it and kept running.
After I got home, I got in the shower and noticed a weird pressure “down there.”
I got out, dried off, then hopped on the computer to check symptoms for a hernia: from the best I can tell, it looks and feels like I have an inguinal hernia. I’m going to call Scott & White tomorrow morning to go get it checked out.
Needless to say, this might throw a wrench in my whole workout plan… I’ll be sure to keep y’all updated on what’s going on.
Laura’s off the phone now, so I’m getting off the computer now.
Here’s today’s route:
