2014 Week 1

Day 7: Given the chance to sleep in, I still woke up very early because of the roosters. They started making noise around 5am and I finally decided that it was time to get up around 6. Instead of just sitting there, I went on a long run. I took a similar path that I went on a few days...

Not gunna lie, I was pretty hyped up for today and it did not disappoint. Today was expected to be great because today was for turtle tagging.
