Ya Llega Mi Familia!

JAJA! Adam (chaperone from last year) and guide Selma!

I take back my title from yesterday. Today I am twiddling my thumbs.

In anticipation for the arrival of my family, I am hanging out at the hotel today and just being a bum. When was the last time I did this? I can’t remember. That being said, my lazy day probably won’t last long. I’ll need to find diversion.

I woke up this morning at 5:30 to get to the fitness center before anyone else. Mission accomplished. I ate breakfast, read the newspaper and went back to bed. I woke back up, took a lap around the outside of the hotel to find something to do and only found the casino. I may be gambling later. I’m thinking about taking a bus to the mall but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort. I’ll keep you posted.

Approximately 12 hours after I started my day, I repeated everything I did this morning in the same fashion as when I woke up, including running for a second time. It was like the movie Groundhog Day.

For the first time in my life, I ran twice in one day so I could meet a weekly mileage goal. Don’t misunderstand me though, I have run twice in one day before—especially running collegiate track and field. However, I have never run twice in one day to meet a mileage goal. I’ll become a distance runner yet.

Yesterday I met up with a chaperone I worked with last year. Half of team JAJA was reunited again in Costa Rica! I was stoked to see him and right before we parted ways we realized we would be in Manuel Antonio at the same time. Que ta bien tuanis : )

Okay, time for dinner and to patiently await my family’s arrival. Big day of touring Costa Rica tomorrow!!

Pura vida,

Jessica Lynn
