memorial day

memorial day seemed like so far away when i signed up for a half marathon back in february! and now it's here, and i think i'm ready! i know i'm ready for the first 7 miles - they're all downhill... it's the last 6 miles back uphill that have me a little worried =)

hope everyone's having a safe and happy holiday weekend!

out house

as a child, my family had a lake cabin with a real outhouse. i was always afraid of something being down that hole that was going to get me.... and let's not talk about the smell...

much like the port a potties i go in at all the runs =)  today's photo was a replica of an old outhouse at the park in farmer's branch. it came with no smells,  but i was still afraid to get too close to the 'hole' lol =)

yep

like i said... slacker... i've been slacking this week - but, finally - it's here! friday!

saturday morning is the five and dime 10mile run at white rock lake... hoping to beat my time of 1:59:32 from last weekend =) we've ran some good practice runs this week, and i feel ready!

today's photo.... our training area beginning and end. highway 34 in front of the sub courthouse. from here we can run varied distance loops of 1 mile, 1.7, 2.5, 4.2 or longer... depending on how far up the highway you want to run and how safe you feel with traffic passing by  LOL

happy friday!
