I've been so productive I might collapse...

It's amazing what you can get accomplished when you are up at 3AM. I usually try to go back to sleep for 30-45 minutes when I wake up that early, but after that I just give up and start doing things. Today I got a 9 mile run in, ran errands, did lots of homework, mowed the lawn, trimmed bushes, and pulled weeds. After that Lucy and I went to Lake Conestee Nature Park in Mauldin and walked around for a while.

 

It was a little hot for Lucy, and I think she is a little out of shape, so it was slow moving at times. On the way to and from the park, there is a few farms with livestock, so I took time to stop and take some pictures. 

 Once we got back home it was time to cook for the night. Addy was terrible tonight because she didn't nap today, but we did have a good time running around outside while Kristi continued pulling weeds where I had left off. Even Oliver got in on the action and came outside for a little bit. He typically isn't allowed outside. He used to go in the back yard whenever he wanted, but then there was an incident where he jumped the fence and didn't come back for a while...so now we don't really let him out. I just can't stand the thought of losing a pet...
