DONE

After sitting at a soccer game yesterday while it was hailing and freezing, I was not too happy to note that it was 34 when I headed out this a.m. to do my last long run (10 m).  I have been soooo crabby (particularly at Doug – who is gone for the weekend, and of course it is his fault that my exercise schedule is all messed up – I was supposed to run yesterday.  It had nothing to do with the storm going on).  I have been in such a rut (gee, again).

 

As I went along, I saw my friend headed to church, then slowly more and more people (walkers of all ages, bikers, other runners) and I started to notice what a gorgeous day it was turning out to be.  Clear blue sky, sunny, the leaves turning.  I just got new shoes, that I am very happy with; my skegging is very cute.  I saw my neighbors, then the Harleys out for a group ride, and I felt good and got over being mad at Doug and realized that this time next week I will be close to drinking with friends.  So even though I don’t really love running, the whole benefit thing was very clear today!

And Lucy you will be happy to know that I spoke with Becca, and she said it is GORGEOUS in Houston!  No humidity this time of year (which I don't think is the same definition as we know, but still nice!)

Mile Update!

Sharing the end of Aug update . . . 729/1000!  If I am calculating properly, end Aug should be at 732 so I am right on track!!

A little nervous what to do after the half this month . . . but I will figure that out when I get there!  Just biked 8 miles in the dark.  I don't recommend it.  I did 6 this a.m., but didn't have enough time to do it all so planned on putting a few more in later.  Then I had to unexpectedly do the football carpool, and the boys were delayed so we did not get home until 7, then had to eat as a family so before you know it, the sun is setting this time of year!  Mostly I was on a trail, and I had a light, but it is still a little freaky. 

But I did it!  The sweat dripping down my back is evidence.  So Sept so far is on track!

BTW, while in Chicago I saw an ad for a Lucy+Ethel show.  Is this a play or musical?  Have you heard about it?  I will have to look it up and advise.  I wonder if it is in NY!  We will have to plan a date!
