My day off started quite gradually. I was a little sore this morning because of my run last night. Between having to pee and being really hungry, I coaxed myself out of bed a little before 9:00.
The rest of the morning wasn't too noteworthy.
I went for a recovery run around noon. Felt really nice to run in the full sun. I think I scared a few folks on the carriage roads as I ran by and showed off my farmer's tan.
I returned back to the dorm with only 10 minutes left in the Brazil versus Chile soccer game. Fortunately, the game went into double overtime and penalty kicks. So I was able to enjoy a full hour of soccer action. The dorm was rooting for Chile because Carrie had studied abroad down there for 3 months. We all became emotionally involved even though the link to the Chile national team was so distant for most of us. I think we all just like to be part of a team.
A gaggle of us headed to Echo Lake to hang out on the beach. The water was a little chilly. This is Maine after all. Still, it felt good since the temperature rose to about 80 today outside. After swimming for 15 minutes and lying in the sun for around 15 minutes I became bored. To overcome my boredom, I built a sandcastle. Although, Ana called it a "sand cake." I definitely would not advise having a slice of it.
This evening I learned how to play Bananagrams. I went on to win the first round. I then lost the next two, miserably. All well, you win one you lose the rest.
Today's picture of the day is my sand castle/cake. Please note the moat and bridge. Enjoy!
