training update (and more)!!!!!

Saturday - what a day! 16miles was on CoachJoe's schedule for us VTNTer's- so 16miles is what I planned - and did! and better yet - I started early enuf [4:30am...yes indeed] so that I could finish in time to cheer Jennifer across the finish line of this year's Hibiscus Festival 5k!!! along the way.....can u tell? - the "way" was from DT Vero, east on Royal Palm [hey Elaine!], over the BarberBridge, and then north on A1A to JI {hope y'all are good Fred & Pattie.....I passed you about ten to six and waved a BIG HELLO!} and back to DT Vero -....along the way, I thought about all the folks who've contributed to Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for me and are inspiring me to train and stay committed.....THANK YOU ALL.....couldn't do it with out you!!! made it back just as Jennifer was crossing the finish line (literally exactly at the exact minute!) and then we enjoyed a great pancake breakfast with her family and R2 and Roger too!!!!! then walked around the "festival" - grand....absolutely grand!

and then there was Sunday - a REST day for training - and a fabulous day for an adventure - thanks Grady and Ky for the peach orchard tour!!!!!

today - Monday - just a regular day (in paradise I might add!) - 40minutes out on the road - from work to home this afternoon - along the "boulevard" and then some railroad tracks!!! then Tim and I visited with Uncle Elzie at the hospital, had dinner with Shanna and am now making sweet potato pie cookies for my pal's at work!!!!

Monday!

check it out - left the bank for a little run/walk around 5pm! got a fone call from Ky---got to get a nice visit in while getting warmed up! ran to the lacrosse field (behind Leisure Square) so I could watch R2's practice! took a breather....then ran from there out to almost 58th and back.... called Linda to see if I could take R2 to dinner! she came to the field, we had a nice visit and then R2 and I left there (walking and talking!) and headed back to the bank to get my car and head to dinner.....in the meantime, called Shanna - she was hungry, so she came and picked us up at Old Dixie, just before the RR tracks! went to I-Hop......had a great dinner (thanks SHANNA!).........stopped by Station#3 to visit Uncle Tim on the way to drop R2 at home! what an evening!!!!!!!!!

R2......remember to look up the HS lacrosse game (Tuesday/regional) - find out what time - maybe we can all go together!!!!

R2....remember too to find out what time and where your next game is - Aunt Ky wants to know too!!!!!

yesterday was Day71- 12miles!

it was a beautiful morning....yesterday....I intended on getting up at 5am, having some oatmeal, and then going for my run.....well----the snooze button kept calling my name! fortunately, it was a cool morning and when I started (from South Beach) at 7:40am....it was poifect!!!!! was slower than usual---but sure did enjoy the morning anyway! then....went to sweet Addison's b-day party! another treat!!!! found out too that a special freind's planning on signing up for the Marine Corps Marathon (tweet tweet Clare!) and I'm so psyched for her!!!! so....on to this week's training----concentrating on "time"!!!!
