Today was my grandfather's funeral. Really sad about not being able to go, but I also know that he would have told me to stay here and take care of my kids.
I went to Mass at lunch. I walked there, I love being downtown because I can go to St. Peter's Cathedral without having to drive. But I think from now on, I'm bringing my running shoes with me. The walk isn't that far (I'm across from the fed. bldg; the cathedral on West and Amite) but the boots I had on (with heels) are not made for walking (isn't that a country song?).
Still, it was gorgeous outside. I have to get out and do my 40 min this afternoon. I hope the rain waits until after I get it done. I really, really want to do more of my walking on the road rather than the treadmill. I can feel more when I do it outside and for some reason, my feet don't hurt when I walk on the road. umm, strange.

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

so sorry for your loss.
Kayra,
I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. He's in a better place, but the doesn't ease our earthly pain. I found out this morning that my Aunt passed away in Pensacola. I really like going to St. Peter's too. I used to go to St. Francis, and Fr. Brain was our Assoc. Priest. He is great! The cathedral is beautiful. On a nice, sunny afternoon, do your 40 min walk/run outside and reflect on your grandfather's life. He was happiest outside, and that may be a wonderful type of healing for you. That helped me a lot when I lost my father. You will be in my prayers.
