Monday morning

Well, had a pretty good run Saturday, really enjoyed running with Hugh for most of it. Again made the mistake of trying to keep up with Cincha early on, which wiped me out faster. You'd think I'd learn, but she's such a tease with that "I've got to run really slow and walk some today" stuff. I'm not falling for that again.

Thanks to all of you who commented about my Grandmother's turning 95. She looked great, she stood up the whole time of her party, and is still floating on cloud 9. She said that was one of the best days of her life. She walked in with her cane, promptly hung it on the back of her chair, and then stood and walked around the entire afternoon without it, and without needing it. She's so funny. I figured she'd be wiped out after her party, but she got up, went to church and taught her Sunday School class Sunday morning. She's that kind of teacher (all of you who grew up in church had one of these) that her class is so popular that it meets in the sanctuary, or fellowship hall. That's her. She's so amazing. I'll print out your earlier comments to show her -- thanks for saying such cool stuff about her.

I skipped my run this morning. My legs have been feeling really tired since last week, so I just decided to take one more day to get back into the swing. I used to just push and push, enjoying the fact that my legs felt like tree trunks, but these days, a little more knowledge helps me to sit down when I need to. Besides, I have an exam to complete and turn in by TUesday afternoon, so I'll just work on that.

I'll miss the half marathon on Saturday as well as the party that night, as well as the carb load the night before. I'll do my half Friday morning, and then will pack for my trip to Glacier National Park. Woohoo!!!!!! Y'all have a great week and kick some butt.
