Prayers

Ok...I just had to let y'all see this...is this not the most precious thing. Say your prayers for strength, stamina on our way to Chicago.

XT

I did pilates and strength training today for my XT. I am sooooooooo out of shape. I am feeling more and more like I know I need to do this, the further I go in this adventure I realize just how much time I must have spent on the couch... or anywhere but exercising. Anyway, I just hope that I will continue on and get stronger each new day. I surely cannot get any weaker. I plan to do intervals again tomorrow to try to get ready for Sat... getting a little nervous about it.

My son is coming home from college this saturday and he is a workout NUT.... I told him he was going to be my personal trainer for the 2 weeks he is home before summer school. I look forward to seeing him. I have to drive 3 hours after the race on Sat to a wedding in Shreveport. I will probably not even be able to stand after 8 miles and then sitting for 3... we will see.

2 Steps Back

After Saturday being such a good day and resting on Sunday I figured this week's runs would be a breeze.... I feel like I just took 2 steps back.... Monday and today were difficult. Not much energy and felt like my legs were "heavy" again.. back like they were a couple of weeks ago. How can you go from such a good day on Saturday to being sluggish again. I am keeping it up, and I am still looking forward to Sat., even though it is going to be hot and humid--I am afraid.

See you then.
