Wednesday

Thanks everyone for your prayers for my grandfather. I really appreciate it. Right now, I'm planning on leaving next week, so I'll be at the meeting
Saturday. I'll have to get my schedule for the next two weeks, as I'm planning on training while there. I'm going to need tips on training in the heat. This is the hot season down in Panama and it's going to HOT.

Instead of XT today, I walked (since I missed yesterday). Got 40 min on the treadmill, and that was less than 2 miles. I'm trying to ignore the distance during the week and focus on the amount of time I'm exercising but I can't help but wonder, am I going to make it 26.2 miles?

The owner of the gym (Amy Keywood) assured me I will make it. She said MM (Mark, Robin and Matt) are the best when it comes to helping people to achieve this goal. That's awesome to hear.
So tomorrow I'll walk again, and take Friday off. I'm looking forward to Sat's walk.

Steel toe boots

I had to go to Poplarville yesterday for work. Part of my lovely work attire includes steel toe boots. These boots weigh about 5 lbs each. not comfortable. I spent most of the day outside, with a headache because my sinus are acting up. By the time I got home, I had only energy left to bathe/feed the kids and ended up crashing early.
So no exercise for me yesterday. The boots hurt my feet too. I wonder if the pain is something I can "walk off". I'm planning on walking today instead of XT.

Nothing new on my grandfather's health. My mother left today, along with my oldest sister. As hard as it is for us to lose him, I just pray that God will give us the strength to let him go, if that's His will. He has lived 94 yrs, and had a good life.
