SUNNY SATURDAY!

MAN THAT SUN WAS A BLAZING TODAY WASNT IT,, BUT IT WAS GOOD,, I REALLY LIKED THE TRAILS, I LOVE LOOKING AT THE WOODS AND THEY SMELLED SO GOOD TODAY WITH THE HONEYSUCKLE!, I HAD NO IDEAL WHERE WE WERE MOST OF THE TIME, LIVING IN MENDENHALL, IM NOT REALLY FAMILAR WITH JACKSON THAT MUCH, ONE TIME WE WERE WALKING AND CROSSING THE NATCHEZ TRACE, NEXT THING I KNEW WE WERE BY THE RESERVOIR, I WAS TOTALLY TURNED AROUND BUT SO ENJOYED IT. WAS ABLE TO JOG, REALLY SLOW TODAY A GOOD BIT OF THE TIME, I HAVE NO SCHEDULE AND NO SET INTRAVEL, WHEN I FELT LIKE I COULD JOG I DID AND WHEN I THOUGHT I NEEDED TO STOP I DID AND THAT WORKED REALLY GOOD.
HAVE ANY OF YOU ALMOST CRIED WHEN YOU GOT BACK TO THE STARTING PLACE, MAYBE IM JUST A OLE SAP, BUT ITS SUCH AN ACCOMPLISMENT JUST TO DO WHAT WE ARE DOING, TODAY, WE DID 9 MILES, THATS THE DISTANCE BETWEEN HERE AND MAGEE, I ACTUALLY WALKED THE DISTANCE FROM HERE TO THERE, I WAS JUST SHOCKED,, AND IT MADE ME ALMOST CRY TO THINK I COULD DO THAT,, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHEN WE CROSS THAT FINISH LINE AT CHICAGO HOW WE ARE GONNA FEEL,, WELL EXHAUSTED FOR ONE, BUT SO PROUD OF OURSELVES FOR DOING THIS. THIS IS ALL QUITE AMAZING,
WENT BY GREAT HARVEST WHEN I LEFT TODAY, MY HUSBAND GOT HOOKED ON IT SO IM GONNA SEND HIM A COUPLE OF LOAFS TO BAGHDAD, NORMALLY IT TAKES A PACKAGE 8-10 DAYS TO GET THERE, ILL SEND IT MONDAY MORNING AND HOPEFULL IT WILL STILL BE OK, HE CAN TOAST IT AND MAYBE IT WILL BE ALRIGHT, I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THOUGH, ABOUT 9 O CLOCK IS A WONDERFUL TIME TO GO THERE, HA,, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, FRESH BLUEBERRY , BANANA NUT MUFFINS, FRESH CINNAMON ROLLS, OHHHHHH LORDY BE!,, FOR A BREAD LOVER, I WAS IN HEAVEN!
SURE WAS GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE TODAY,,
HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY, AND HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU MOMS,, MINE IS GONE AND TIMES LIKE THIS IS WHEN YOU REALLY MISS THEM MOST BUT I KNOW SHE WOULD BE SO PROUD OF ME,,

gettin' warmer

well these good of days of mississippi summer heat is upon i think,, its been hot these last couple days, but not as hot as where my husband is,, he said it was 108.7 yesterday, so i guess we should be thankful for 89..
have a good week of training,, doing my walking and riding the bike some, ill be glad when the pool warms up just a little more and will be able to do my x-training then,, couple years ago when i had the back surgery, the doc told me swimming is the best exercise, so stress on these old bones, so ill get up and do laps in that,, just still a little to chilly, these nights need to warm up some, and no worries about that,, its coming,
hope you all have a good and safe week, and see you bright and early saturday morning!
later all

TODAY WAS A MUCH BETTER DAY FOR ME,, WAS ABOUT TO GET 5 MILES IN THIS AFTERNOON,, MY HAMMY AS NISSANURSE CALLS IT, IS A LITTLE SORE,, I STRETCHED GOOD, BUT I WALKED HARD AND FAST,,NOTHING THAT WONT BE BETTER BY TOMORROW.
IM SO GLAD TO READ THAT IM NOT HE ONLY ONE THAT STRUGGLES WITH MONDAY,, ITS ALWAYS A CHORE TO GET OUT AND DO ANYTHING, GLAD TO KNOW ITS KINDA NORMAL..
WONDERFUL WEATHER BUT HOT..,
ABOUT BED TIME FOR ME, READING A REALLY GOOD BOOK AND IVE GOT ABOUT 40 PAGES LEFT, AND YOU KNOW WHEN ITS THAT CLOSE ITS REALLY GOOD, HA, WANNA FINISH TONIGHT,
TAKE CARE ALL,,
LATER GATORS!

one of those days

you think this far along in the program we can still have those "character building days" ha, if so this was my day, 1st time in while, i could just barely put one foot in front of the other all day long.work was terrible, and it went down hill from there, went to walk but 1 mile was all i could do, home now, going to do some house stuff, and just cool it, maybe its just my bodys way of telling me i need some rest,, probably so, and mark says we have to listen to our body, but heavens i feel so guilty about not doing it,,
hope you all have had a better day than me, tomorrow ill be about to my 100% speed,,
later all

good day

WELL THIS HAS BEEN A GOOD DAY, I REALLY ENJOYED THE CANNONBALL RUN,, BUT I THINK THE 2 MILES AFTERWARDS WERE THE HARDEST, HA, I REALLY ENJOYED WALKING ON THE TRAIL, BUT THE HILL WAS A KILLER,, AND JUST SEEING EVERYONE IS ALWAYS GOOD,, WE ARE TRULY A GOOD GROUP!
CAME HOME CUT THE GRASS, WEED EAT, EDGED AND BLEW EVERYTHING OFF, NOW IM READY FOR BED, HA,, THE HUSBAND SAYS HE CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH MORE ENERGY I HAVE SINCE IVE STARTED THIS,,
ONE THING I HAVE TO PURCHASE IS SOME OF THOSE COMPRESSION SHORTS,, HA,,
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD WEEK
