I have been walking like an Egyptian crazy! In fact, I walked this weekend. SIX miles a night for two nights. I was very fortunate in that my bff Sabrina is a sucker supportive friend and came with me. That made a HUGE difference and I am going to miss her SO MUCH on Sunday when I walk the half marathon. Walking alone is boring!
Saturday evening we began our walk near this tree.
Notice the parking lot was empty? Notice the walking path on your left is also empty? That’s how I walk usually. ALLLL by myself (please ignore all Celine Dion references that’s a really annoying song to get stuck in your head *smirk*). Anyway, thanks to Sabrina who is full of awesomeness I trotted along full of enthusiasm.
How can I prove this?
We were 2 miles out before we noticed the sky.
If your initial reaction is “oh shit” you were right on the money.
Sabrina and I, badasses that we are, decided that Goonies never say die and neither do we! Okay Goonies were never actually mentioned by either of us, but we stuck it out.
Apparently the storm gods don’t want me to look like a total asshat in public or have to fake a leg cramp. Thank you storm gods!
Sunday’s weather was more accomodating and we watched a gorgeous sunset. (Apologies for the horrible cell phone camera resolution)
Other then that not to much excitement. I haven’t even run from my door to the mailbox so I can’t begin to compete with HZ on the running front. GO HZ WOOT!!!!
I do, however, want to point out that I should get crazy bonus points for walking my first half marathon on Superbowl Sunday. Am I a football fan? Not even close. But up until this particular year, I’ve always been a fan Superbowl commercials and cheese dip.
So when you’re scarfing beer and pizza think of my sorry ass me walking alone. At least I’ll be at the beach.
Sunday will be awesome.
You know, I spent a lot of time on my jaunts plotting my book, plotting revenge, plotting to run away…I figure it’s appropriate to plot while I plod. Also passes the time nicely. Especially when my mind wanders down naughty lane…oh yes, the time passes very quickly then.
