listen to your coach....that's what I learned this week!

what a beautiful day Sunday was-----I left the driveway about 5:40am.....a little later than I should have....but still----o.k.! an ever so slight breeze...birds starting to awaken and chirp....a very few cars moving around.....and DoughBoys lights were on and smellin' up the neighborhood already! yes---a beautiful morning! from the house, I made my way up to the 17th Street bridge and around the bridge-loop two times.....then uptown and back home along the railroad tracks!!!

we're getting close to June 19th......thank you all for your support.......amazing you are!!! I have a new tshirt for this weekend's 20mile'r! I'll have to take a pic and show you!!!! xoxoxoxoxo

Sunday's run!

Sunday's run was great...it was! and I made good time....4hrs---20miles......not bad.......could be faster.......but not bad - still have a month to try to speed it up a bit!!!! Left the driveway at 5:40am (Morgan--that better?!) .....went around the beach----did an "out-and-back" loop....means I did 4 bridges........hope that's enuf for AK!!!!! AND I tell you all again....THANK YOU for your support.....surely couldn't be doing this without you and your encouragment!!!!!!

and speaking of "time".......I had such a wonderful time on Saturday with my Mom and Dad at the Aligator Farm in St. Augustine.....now that was FUN!

I ran like a Mother!

indeed I did!

so Ky called me yesterday wondering why I've not been running.......well---I have been, but hadn't "posted" lately!!! so...here I am this morning.....blogging!!! tee hee hee!!! discovered too that last week's post was stuck in "draft"---check it out...really----I had pic's last week!!!

did about the same routine this week - alarm went off 3:15am....snoozed for a bit....had oatmeal....left the driveway about 4:35am! beautiful morning...simply beautiful.... made my way over the 17th Street bridge and around the Barber Bridge and back over the 17th Street bridge..... 2nd time was a charm I must tell you.........sunrise was incredible.....big pink sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean.........(sorry I didn't take my camera this week----most sorry!)......but I did call Tim and get a grand GOOD MORNING..........checked out the beach, turned around and headed back over the 17th Street Bridge (that made 4 bridges this morning!) and home! what a way to start Mother's Day!

Looking forward to the rest of the day.....HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to everybody.......LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
