hey all
this is going to be a better week, already starting out that way, got up and did 2 miles this morning and did my floor exercises.. i am determined to get back going, last week i just wasnt motivated, dont know why, we were at eagle lake, so i got up and mapped me out 8 miles for saturday, got up and started got about 3 1/2 miles done when the rain started, well i can run in the rain, couple saturdays proved that but when the thundering and lightening started up, thomas came and got me, and it rained all day, so i didnt get the entire 8 miles in. gotta get prepared for this weekends long run.
thomas got word yesterday he will probably be gone by weeks end to Qatar, dont know for how long, he was sure hoping and me too for the Panama job, but they wont even bid for a couple of weeks and hes needed there , so we shall see. i told him i hated for him to go but to get and get back by oct 5, he HAS to go with me to Chicago and hes going to make it clear that he has to be home by then.
i missed seeing everyone saturday, hopefully i wont miss any more.. not long now huh, im getting excited
anyone thought about what you were going to wear? i think we get somekind of shirt dont we from our MM thing.. i get excited thinking about it,
time to get moving,, last week at the clinic, i wasnt going to start at the hospital until aug 9 but if he leaves i might work a couple of days before then, just have to see, jake will be home for 2 wks after next weekend and i want to spend some time with him.. i miss my babyboy,
take care all,

SINGING IN THE RAIN
CAN YA'LL BELIEVE WE DID 15 MILES SATURDAY,, AND IN THE POURING RAIN. BUT YOU KNOW IT WAS FUN, AND WE WERE ALL DOING IT TOGETHER, MY SHOES WERE SO FULL OF WATER I FELT LIKE I WAS JUST SHOSLING AROUND IN THEM, I PROB WAS,, I WAS AFRAID OF BLISTERS BUT I DIDNT HAVE ANY,, THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAD TO HAVE A COMING TO JESUS TALK TO MYSELF, IT WAS JUST HARD AT TIMES, BUT BY TIME I GOT TO THE END I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF I DIDNT THINK ABOUT IT,, I WASNT HERE FOR THE HALF MARATHON SO THIS WAS A BIG THING FOR ME. AND JUST THINK WE HAVE onlyyyyyyyyyyy 8 MILES NEXT SATURDAY
I HAVE FOUND THAT WHILE LISTENING TO MY RADIO WHILE IM RUNNING AND SINGING ALONG MAKES THE TIME GO BY FASTER FOR ME, I THINK ABOUT THE MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE RUNNING OR WALKING, SO IF I PASS YOU, OR YOU PASS ME MORE LIKELY AND IM SINGING, JUST PAY ME NO MIND , IM JUST IN MY LITTLE COUNTRY MUSIC ZONE, JAMMING OUT AS THEY SAY,, ITS FUN.
I WAS PROUD OF OUR GROUP SATURDAY AS WE ALL TURNED OUT, WE ARE A DEDICATED GROUP,, I PASSED ONE LADY THAT HAD THE TEAM IN TRAINING T SHIRT ON AND SHE ASKED ME HOW MUCH WE WERE DOING, AND I TOLD HER 15 MILES, AND SHE SAID WOW SHE WAS ONLY DOING 5. IM THINKING OUR PROGRAM WILL HAVE US MUCH MORE READY FOR THE MARATHON.
THANKS AGAIN MARK AND ROBIN AND ALL ELSE WHO HAVE PUT IN YOUR TIME AND DEDICATION TO GET US TO THE POINT, WE, I KNOW FOR SURE I COULDNT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU AND LOOKING ALREADY TO NEXT YEAR WHEN I START MM2!
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GOOD WEEK
OHHH, TURNED THE RESIGNATION IN THIS MORNIG, KINDA HARD TELLING THE RECEPTIONST, WE HAVE BECOME CLOSE AND GONE THROUGH ALOT TOGETHER BUT SHE SAID SHE UNDESTOOD AND THAT IF PRAYED HARD ABOUT IT AND HAD A PEACE IT WAS MEANT TO BE, SO IM OK NOW, JUST GETTING THAT PART OVER WITH WAS THE HARDEST.
TAKE CARE ALL,

good saturday
I really kinda enjoyed Saturday.Mary caught up with me ( built for comfort) and we ran rest of the time together, i dont think i would have ran as much if she hadnt been with me,, but we ran prob 3/4 of it,, then Suzanne asked me to go to Beagle Bagle with some of them and that was fun also, i think its so good that we have all just become such good friends throughout this. it was funny sitting there, we were all smelling the same, ha,, and talking about the NEXT marathon we want to run,, it kinda gets in your blood doesnt it,, i definetly dont want to stop doing this after Chicago and i think staying close with our friends that we have made here will keep us going.
We had a good time at the Lake sat and sunday, was good to have all my family together for a change, kids are growing up,, jake who will be 23 in nov, is becoming such a smart, responsible young man, i can remember when there were days when he and his dad would be at each others thoat, but now they are becoming and for anyone who has sons and how they act with there dads know ,, they are good friends now, both kids are coming to the age where they might think, welllll maybe mom and dad did know what they were talking about, i know it took me awhile to realize that.. the funniest thing was when jake was pulling thomas in the big intertube,, i do think jake was getting back at his dad, ha,, but let me tell you all one thing, LEAVE THE TUBING TO THE YOUNGUNS' i was shamed into trying it,, i lasted prob all of 2 min and gave the cut off sign, but i can say, been there, done that, never to again, ill pull all day long but they wont get me back on it again, ha,,
me and haley leave wed going with our church on the youth trip, looking forward to it but i will miss saturday, but i had made my commitment to them and i cant go back . plus it will be good for me and haley to do it together, i have the 8 th and 9th grade girls and she has the 5th and 6th.. im going to try as best as i can to get my training in, ill get up early in the morning,, we will be in sunday night . thomas will be fishing all week, then im off from work for 2 wks,, im gonna see just how lazy i can be by that pool , ha,,
take care all, have a good , safe week,,
