GOOD RUN

I HAD A GOOD RUN THIS MORNING, IT WAS HOT AND IT WAS TOUGH BUT I MADE IT AND WAS ABLE TO RUN ALOT OF IT, AND FASTER THAN I NORMALLY DO, I WANT TO GET MY TIME UP SOME. I WANTED TO FINISH IN AT LEAST 2 HRS AND I DID IT IN 1:59.. EVEN WITH A STOPPED UP HEAD AND SORE THROAT, I DRANK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER THIS PAST WEEK AND I THINK THAT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.
YESTERDAY WAS A TOUGH DAY FOR ME.. TOOK MY BABY TO STATE AND IN HER 1ST APT. I KNEW IT WOULD BE HARD, BUT IT WAS HARDER THAN I THOUGHT, THATS JUST ONE OF THESE LIFE THINGS THAT IVE GOTTA LEARN, IM JUST BEING SELFISH AND WANT HER WITH ME ALL THE TIME, BUT THIS IS HER TIME, SHE IS SO EXCITED AND I HAVE TO BE THAT WAY FOR HER ALSO, ILL BE ALRIGHT, JUST TAKE A LITTLE TIME.
I WAS READING HOW SHANNON HAS GOTTEN THINGS GOING AGAIN FOR US ALL, AND IM ALSO GLAD TO KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS BEEN SLACKING, I WISH I COULD GET UP TO THE REZ TO DO THAT WITH YA'LL BUT ITS JUST SO FAR FROM ME, IM GOING TO GET MORE MOTIVATED AND DO THIS.. THATS GOOD OF SHANNON, ( MY ROOMIE IN CHICAGO) TO DO THIS.. KEEP IT UP GIRL!
MISSED SEEING OUR BIKE RIDERS OUT THERE TODAY,
THERE IS THIS SONG, AND I THINK ITS BY LONESTAR, CALLED MOUNTAINS, I LISTENED TO IT ABOUT 4 TIMES THIS MORNING AND ITS SO GOOD AND SO MUCH ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING THROUGH, IM GOING TO TRY AND WRITE DOWN THE WORDS TO SOME OF IT AND LET THE ONES THAT DONT LISTEN TO COUNTRY SEE WHAT IT SAYS..

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE WEEK.. OHH IM THINKING ABOUT TRYING TO DO MY 20 MILES FRIDAY HERE, I HAVE A 5 MILE LOOP I HAVE AND I CAN DO IT 4 TIMES,, IF I CAN GET MOTIVATED, I HAVE A CONCERT THAT IM GOING TO FRIDAY NIGHT AND IM SURE WE WONT GET HOME UNTIL 12 OR AFTER AND I WILL BE DEAD THAT MORNING,, CONSIDERING IT.
LATER YA'LL

I know that song and I loooooove it! I heard it yesterday as a matter of fact and it gives me chills everytime I hear it.

That is AWESOME time, girl! You go. Especially in Clinton. That's hard!

Sorry about your daughter moving. Remember she's just out there trying to better herself and get an education. Good for her! I know it's hard on both of you, though. I could never bring myself to move out when I was in college....I'm a momma's baby!

That empty nest really sucks right now. I know cause it happened to me a few years ago. But you will survive and become very proud that your children have grown up and become great people. In time, you will start to enjoy the quiet evenings and wonder how you survived all those years with so much activity in your home. There are times when I visit my children and grandchildren or they visit me, IT IS WILD! That's when I'm glad to be a grandmother! You know the old saying "You can have fun then send them home when you're tired! HA!

Great time at your run this morning! Keep up the good work! I missed you guys too!

Ditto Sheila's comments...we have been empty nesters for a few years now. Sounds like doing your run at home is a good idea since you will be getting home so late from the concert. You will only get a few hours sleep before you have to get up and trek over to the Rez.

glad you had a good run, but come join us Saturday. You know you will never go 4 times without stopping in and quitting! I know I would not. We need you and you need us!

I remember when my mom dropped me off at Alabama and then she cried the entire 4 hours back home! Living away from my mom ended up bringing us closer together!

Good luck doing the 20 miles alone! It will be tough, but you can do it!

I've been slacking too. I think we all are, but I woke up this morning and said, "no more!" Only 7 weeks to go! We can do this!

Great Time on your Saturday Clinton run! Glad we made it in the dark. Good luck if you decide to do the 20 on Friday. But, we will sure miss you on Saturday.

I know it must be hard for you right now....I know I would be upset if I dropped my son off at State (ha/ha!!)

You were a running machine out there. I know you are going to fly in Chicago.
