Let's start today's update by telling you that my legs are on FIRE!!! Today I completed a total of 8.25 miles. It was 83° with ZERO breeze. It was terrible. My old watch that stopped working and then started working again....stopped working again. The new watch will be here by Monday, so I'll survive. I started out early this morning. I walk 5 miles every morning at 6am with a small group of friends. I ran 3.25 miles this morning just before the 5 mile walk. I don't know why I signed up for this!?! 🤣😂🤣 I was so beat today. It wasn't a great week...for running. It hasn't been a great couple of weeks. I need to get my ass in high gear. I went to Oklahoma for my annual trip to Norman for a football game at the Palace on the Prairie. Needless to say no running took place on my week rendezvous. It all worked okay anyway. I was sore as hell going into my trip and the rest was probably much needed and certainly appreciated by my body. Today was tough. Long road ahead to be ready for January 19th, but I got this! Best part of the day so far was seeing a friend's car parked at the Poop Deck (dive bar) on the seawall.... that didn't show up to walk with us this morning! Hahaha!
9/11 5 mile trek was CRAZY. It was 40mph wind gusts and about 2/3 through the walk we were literally PELTED with rain. It actually made me laugh for a few blocks out loud and I had to stop and catch my breath. There was ZERO visibility for a couple minutes. It was actually kind of fun....only because I was at the very end of the 5 miles.
I haven't started having the nightmares about the marathon starting and me not being ready, but I'm certain they're coming. I love running. Running is fun. Those last two sentences were lies.
Weight today: 191.5
