Jon and I played tennis today. I was reminded of how much I love the sport and I wish I could play more often. I am thankful for my parents who had me in tennis camp and tennis lessons as a kid as am I am able to play now because of my training back then. There is actually a tennis court in our front yard so we can walk over to play any time we want. It is nice to be able to do the things we want to do all so close to home.

I also went for a run today. I only set out for 15 minutes though since I played tennis with Jon for over an hour. I can tell I am getting stronger and stronger every day as running is starting to come easier. I have a pretty bad shin splint in my left leg though and while I know rest will make it better I do not really want to stop running. I had to dodge dog poop during my whole run. I really don't understand why people let their dogs poop on the side walk when there is a rule on base that you must clean up after your dog. And since when do dogs prefer to go on the sidewalk instead of in the grass that is not even 2 feet away from where they went on the sidewalk? Seriously people clean up after your pet and stop being so irresponsible and inconsiderate.
