Okay, 2nd week attempt at redemption.  I'm off to a decent start.  I ran with Leslie and  Tarzan out on the pipeline trail.  I think I have a new addiction.  I like trails, they are so remote and so beautiful, plus it's cooler up there than in the valley.

I ran with tarzan up until I needed to become a cave woman and utilize some leaves, avoiding all oaks, and take care of business.  We all ran about the same time but got different distances.

My husband was so sweet, I am watching all the nieces today and he agreed to watch them so I could make the run until he had to go to work.

Thanks to Leslie and Maurine for letting me join in with you today, and Leslie I hope the beauty of it today helped with your spirits so you can be there for your daughter.  You are all in our prayers. 

PM 1.5 miles to the park and back.  I made, I mean I let, all the kids run, walk, skip, and duck duck goose their way there and back. (Ages 5,4,3,2)  And then when we got home I made them, wait, LET them pull out all the blankets and pillows into the front room and got them cold drinks, turned lights off, drew the curtains and put on the chipmunks.  I am so nice(insert devious, sinister laugh) wa ha ha ha ha ha

I like the idea of someone checking on me, that will help motivate me until I get back on my feet. Right now my biggest motivation for walking/running is my back. It has hurt non stop for probably 3 or 4 weeks. I keep seeing Grandpa and taking it as easy as I can but it's not helping. I'm going to start trying to strengthen it and walking and hopefully that will help it get better.
