KILLER SATURDAY

YESTERDAY WAS,, IN FOR SHORT LETTERS,, T U F F!
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES I DIDNT THINK I WAS GOING TO MAKE IT,, ONCE I THOUGHT, WELL MAYBE THIS IS WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT THE WALL BECAUSE I JUST DIDNT I COULD PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER, BUT I FINISHED, TERRIBLE TIME BUT I FINISHED, AND ONE OF OUR FRIENDS, THAT HAS SAID IM CRAZY FOR DOING THIS, MADE ME FEEL SOME BETTER, AND ITS ABOUT LIKE WHAT MARK SAID, IF YOU CAN DO THIS, IN THIS WEATHER, CHICAGO WILL BE A LITTLE EASIER, AND SO THAT HELPS, AND IT ALSO HELPS TO KNOW THAT MARK HAD A HARD TIME ALSO,, NOT WANTING MARK TO HAVE A HARD TIME, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, HE RUNS CIRCLES AROUND ME, AND MAKES IT LOOKS EFFORTLESS,,
NEEDLESS TO SAY I DONT THINK I MOVED LAST NIGHT WHEN I WENT TO SLEEP, ABOUT 830, HA,,
TODAY OFF TO MISS STATE FOR MY DAUGHTERS ORIENTATION TOMORROW..
I WAS LOOKING AT THE OUR NEW SCHEDULE,, KINDA MAKES YOU GET EXCITED TO KNOW WE ARE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER,,
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD RESTFUL DAY,, HOMECOMING AT CHURCH TODAY,, YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS,, ALL THOSE LITTLE CUTE OLDER LADIES WILL BE COOKING AND, YUM YUM YUM, HA
LATER ALL

nursevicke@aol.com
thanks

missed ya'll

ive been out of pocket since monday,, we went to the lake and got back this morning,, had a really good time, just relaxing and letting the husband unwind some,,
the last couple of months he has been walking ( he said i inspired him) hes up to 3 miles, so what we did, was we did the 3 miles,, i would jog about 5 min,, then jog back to meet him and walk some, then do it again, we figured i would get in about 5 miles, and hrs worth, my time down some, but it was worth being with him, and he needs the exercise also, hes a diabetic and hypertensive, and since he has started his walking, his bp has come down and he has had to reduce his insulin,, walking is such a good thing, physically and mentally,,,
hard to think this is june, 5 mths we will be in october,,time is flying,,
have fun all, see ya saturday!

11 miles and salt

can ya'll believe we actually ran/walked/jogged 11 miles today, just hard to believe isn it,,as they say, who would have thunk it!,, my time was alright,, 2:39 wish i could have done better, and could have but , i guess it was that IT band, got really tight on my left leg and when i tired to run any, it hurt so i stopped and it seemed when i stopped trying to run, i just sank and that last mile i was barely going,, i need to get the gels, then i rubbed my face and it was iikkkkkk,, grainy, then i rubbed my arms and it was too then i looked down at my leg it was white grainy, the salt stuff the mark talked about,, im darn proud of that, ha,,
this is truly something isnt it you guys!,, im so glad i decided to do it, even as hard as it is sometimes,,im glad, what good people you meet and speak to along the way,, and we are all in the same boat,, sink or swim and have have choses to swim!,
speaking of swimming, i came home and immediately got into the pool, water about 80* so maybe that will help the body some, the leg feels good now, glad i stopped when i did, gotta listen to the body as mark says,
have to pick the hubby up at 6, will be soo good to have him home for awhile,
take care all and have a good weekend!
