Remember when Mark told us that? So true. At least for me. I hadn't updated because I hadn't done any training. I know, I'm being awful. I was a bit weary of getting out in the rain Monday and Tuesday. The last few weeks I've been sick twice and I don't want to push my luck.
But I did train yesterday, in the heat. gosh it was awful. I went around 7 PM and it was so humid and hot, I was sweating buckets the first 2 minutes. Managed to get 40 minutes in, before it started to get dark. I was at the track and they don't turn the lights on after dark so I had to go home.
About my knees, Wayne, they are aching today. It's not a strong pain, more of a bother really. Still an ache though. I may need to see what my schedule looks like and pay you a visit.

I WALK / RUN/ WOG BECAUSE
- I CAN!
- My personal best is just that: MINE
- I'll never know how far I can go unless I try
- There is no drug like adrenaline
- I hope my children will
- It takes all I've got, but it gives back more
- It's a good kind of sore
- It's my anti-depressant
- There are a lot worse addictions out there
- I need energy
- It makes me feel free
- I need an excuse to eat
- It makes the pavement feel needed
- I love not just the finish line, but the trip along the way
- stopping would hurt so much more than a blister or a broken toenail
Things I want to do in this lifetime
- Finish a marathon
- Learn to swim
- Learn to play golf
- Go Sky diving
- Travel to Spain and trace my ancestry
- Learn Italian
- Go to Italy
- Visit Egypt and Greece
- Visit Japan
- Teach
- Go to a Soccer World Cup Game
- Travel to all 50 US states

Thanks for the advice on my blog! That totally makes perfect sense!
Hope to see ya tomorrow.
I am right there with you, Kayra- It is really hard to train with a nagging knee.. I am going to do what I have to. It is off to Wayne's world for me too... Also love the pics. They are awesome.
Kayra, so sorry you had trouble on the run today...hope you are feeling better.

Kayra, it must be the distance for everyone - my knees were bothering me starting TODAY, one day after walking 16 miles. I had missed the past two distance Saturdays. Both knee backs felt strange, so I iced them after church. And, I had missed one entire week of walking, and then did puny mileage the 2nd week, leading up to 16. In this case, I don't think mind over body will work. Ice will be my buddy today
At least you trained! :) I can't even tell you the last time I trained!
