It seems right now that my time is spent in training for the 3-day and that is as it should be! I have gotten in some good walks in the past few weeks and some not so good walks! I let myself get discouraged a couple of weekends ago when my team, the Front Yard Flamingos went on our first training walk together. The other ladies walked so much faster than I did and they soon left me behind. Matt Oyervides walked with us that day and he stayed back with me. I really let that discourage me when I should have let that motivate me. Now I'm motivated and I'm ready to hit it!

Saturday, June 19, 2010 - 6 mile training walk in Midlothian
This past weekend I decided to tackle a 6 mile training walk again since the previous one didn't turn out so well for me. This time Laci Childers joined me at Lions Park in Ennis at 6:30am on Friday, June 25, 2010. Our strategies was to walk 3 miles (6 times around the little lake) and rest for a few minutes and do the last 3 miles. Even though I ended up with a blister on my little toe again I felt so much better when we were done. I did it! I went my pace and didn't try to kill myself trying to keep up with someone else,s pace!
And that brings me to today. My training schedule for this week is 3 miles today, 5 miles on Wednesday, 6 miles on Friday and 5 miles on Saturday, with cross training on Tuesday and Thursday. I'm doing Zumba and Zumba Toning for my cross training right now.
I met Kelli Anavitarte this morning at 6am in the neighborhood just down from our church and we did a wonderful 3 mile walk. It was a bit cooler this morning than it was last Friday and the Lord blessed us with an incredible sunrise!
A camera just simply cannot do justice to God's beautiful sunrise. Thank you Lord for a beautiful start to our day.
