Yes,
Yes,
Yes,
&
Yes!
Here, in north east Indiana, we have some of the worst drought conditions in our state. Today it RAINED, and I could not wait for it to hit. I took my daily run during the daytime hours for the first time since I started. I have a new found love.. running in the rain. I have NEVER liked to run, in high school gym class I would walk my 4 laps around the track weekly. I guess they should have let us do it in the rain. There is mud on my legs, my clothes are soaked, hair dripping, and my lungs were burning as I got back to the house, and I even felt myself smile when I saw how fast I did my 1.15 mile today 5:45. Speed is not my real concern, today I just wanted to test myself to see what I am capable of. I am faster now than I was at 16, for most women who are over 30 that I know, they would love to be able to say that. So while I may have a little cellulite jiggling on my inner thighs with each step, and a big burn scar on my tummy, and stretch marks on my hips I am out there doing better than most because I am trying, and everyday I am doing a little more. And for the Spartan Chicks, yes I was in my sports bra!! TOPLESS THURSDAY!!
Merri keeps tabs on me, and I keep her updated when I am sore. She is doing a little better since her last surgery, she is ready to take on a hike as soon as the weather is cooled off enough for her. When she calls and says today is the day I will be taking her to hike the hills and trails we used to hike. For the first time in 8 years. I will walk as slow as she needs and we will be resting often.. but she is getting out to do what she loves... She wont be the fastest, she wont be the strongest, but she isn't giving up!
