Day 7 and Day 18... oh, and something else from Day 6

Day 7 (6-18-2010)
i can't think of anything really interesting that happened on this day. but that doesn't mean that nothing interesting happened. i'm starting to have a hard time remembering what happened on some of these earlier days. for example: i forgot that on Day 6 i had a very good kayaking trip, got to work and realized that i had forgotten to bring a change of clothes to work with me. so, i had to spend the entire day in my wet swim trunks and wet alice cooper t-shirt. Lucky for me WQLN is pretty laid back and it wasn't a bit deal. plus it isn't like i'm meeting with important people all day. most of the time i just sit at my desk. pretty exciting. everyone gave me a pretty hard time about it for the next couple of days. it was pretty funny.

so, i think that this will be my last "flashback" day. i just can't really remember what happened from day to day in these early days anymore. and the forgetting my clothes thing was really the funniest thing that happened anyway. i guess i could just make up stories for some of these other days and no one would know the difference. like the time i saw a shark out in the middle of the lake and it attacked me and took a big bite out of my kayak. i was able to fend it off using only my paddle and my flying fists of fury. then i patched the hole in the kayak using only reeds, lily pads, and one very confused duck. but, that's a story for another day. in conclusion, no more flashbacks.

Day 18
today i went further that i have ever gone before. i went 3.11 miles in 47 minutes. i don't really know if that is good or not, but compared to what i have done so far, that's pretty good. i really didn't think i had done that well while i was paddling. it was very windy on the lake today. for most of the trip i was fighting a headwind. maybe that's why i did so well. i knew that i would have to work harder to compensate for the wind and just ended up overcompensating. or maybe the 3 day break helped to rejuvenate my tired muscles. or maybe i'm just freakishly awesome. i think i'm going to go with freakishly awesome.

p.s. thanks to my lovely wife for finding a sitter for the kids today so that i could go out this morning. i know that it worked out better for her too, but thanks anyway.
