I did my half marathon this am. I got up and started at 4am to beat the heat. Had a pretty slow time because my shins and calves hurt really bad for the first 4 miles. Also, my feet have been swollen up like overstuffed sausages all week. Can salt water leech into my feet through the skin? Just kidding!
Anyway, have a great run tomorrow. If I can do it, anybody can. Plus you all have the group to keep you going. I hope to make it to the party Saturday night. If not see you all on the next group run.

Genetics.....so unfair!
I am sitting on the balcony listening to the ocean. What bliss! Enough of that... I just had to rub it in a little. I got up this am and did my hour wog. It is very humid and hot this morning. Supposed to rain all week. My luck it will (especially after the above comment re: rubbing it in).
On my journey this morning , I was revisiting Saturdays group run. Did Scotty blow by any of the rest of you as if your were standing still? His one stride equals about 4 of mine. What is up with that? Genetics is such an unfair advantage(or disadvantage in my case).
I hope everyone has an excellent week. I am going to take Thursday off and do my half marathon on Friday at the butt crack of dawn. I may wake someone up and let them drive me 13.1 miles away and drop me off. That way I am sure to get in the whole distance.
Later,
Laurie

HAH....as in Hot as Hell
I think the devil is trying to get me to quit training. What is with the heat? It is only June. In a couple of weeks we will all be puddles sloshing our way through the miles. Hopefully a few pounds will melt off this big girl.
Anyhoo, it is official. I have proclaimed myself the laziest blogger. It just doesn't seem to be my thing.
I have heard myself say several times this week, "I only have to do 6 miles this weekend." How great does that statement make me feel? I am still slow (snail-like), but I walked/jogged 12 miles willingly. Unbelievable.
I am leaving for the beach after our run on Saturday to celebrate the big 40 so I plan on running my 13.2 miles next Friday. Hopefully the sound of the ocean and the sight of all the tiny people in swimsuits will motivate me. It is so much easier when surrounded by our great group.
No more rambling for now. I will try to blog in another month or so. See you all Saturday for our short run.
