Boob Crew Mini-Reunion!

About eight to ten of us got together to walk and then eat at Denny's on Sunday morning...an easy, flat five miles...we needed our breath to be able to talk and catch up on the past two weeks. Considering we've spent three to four days together a week for five months, two weeks is a long time to go without walking and talking face to face with one another! Some of the crew skipped the five miles and just walked straight into Denny's for breakfast and few more joined us after the walk. In spandex or jeans, it was just so good to see faces and catch up on each other's lives.

The toe is doing okay, at least it looked better after the walk than it did after Saturday's walk! I was most relieved that the rain did not hit until many hours after the walk! Hey, it's not training season! I'm not walking in the rain just for the fun of it!

First Five Miles

I did a short, quick five miles this morning. A test to see how the toe would do. It did okay, I'm glad I didn't push for a longer walk. It felt good, though, to get out there! The boob crew is planning a mini reunion tomorrow morning with a five miler...but I'm a fair weather walker! It's not training season, so if it rains harder than a sprinkle, I'm skipping and just walking with "Leslie"!

The First Step

I signed up to train with the West Coast Road Runners for the San Diego Rock N Roll Marathon next June!

Did I really just do that?!

I'll sign up for the marathon itself on the 13th...there's a discount for signing up on the 13th of each month...if I remember correctly, it's in celebration of the 13th anniversary of the marathon (or something like that!).

Wow, I've wanted to walk a marathon for at least a year...so now it's time to start making that desire a reality.

I wonder how early I'll be getting up on Saturdays now?!
