Sunny Days

What a delightful day!!! It was fun to meet Amy at Strawberry Patch Park and walk in the light of day instead of the dark of dawn. For a moment I reverted to my "South Madison County" stay-at-home mom days when my children swung high in the swings and slid down the slides. We had a delightful walk and visit. The weather was perfect. I hope it is like this in Chicago. HA! Amy's walkin'/talkin' friend joined us and we ran into MM Ann. The time passed quickly and before we knew it, it was time to return to reality and work. Legs are feeling stronger. Gotta run.

So far, so FUN

Ok, so I have been a little slow getting going on this "blogging", but I have been inspired by reading everyone 's fun spots. I am really enjoying Marathon Makeover. It has provided the needed discipline to my exercise routine. I really enjoyed Saturday morning. It was great to “run” into friends from other “walks” in my life like Brian and Carolyn. As ever, it was great to hang with Amy, Merrill, and Cathy. And it was fun making new friends like Debra, Mary, Ann, Holly, Bama . . . Hearing about the plans for THE marathon really motivated me. I can see it now. The weather this morning was wonderful for my bike ride. I hope everyone has a good week. I will try to come up with some more inspiring and “entertaining most inner thoughts” for my next blog. I’m off and running. . . .

Tracy's Trek

Hi Marathon Friends,
Here we go. Imagine my surprise on Sunday when I began reading over the material we got Saturday and found out TODAY was the day to begin this trek. Since I had been out of my exercise routine for several months, I decided, walk would be good X-training - any training. So, off I went. My dog Scout, is my training buddy. She is really excited being back in the exercise mode. I have managed to stay on schedule through the dark of morning and rain. Got new shoes & socks. Feel so good. Sure enjoing this Friday off, but looking forward to getting together tomorrow. See you at the Baptist Healthplex. Good luck to all.
