never did get that nap I wanted this morning.....the plumber called and I had to get my house ready to show and buy a lovely new hot water heater.....all before 2 oclock and to the tune of 650 dollars...woohoo...
I could have done some good things with that money....something more fun than that.... cold showers are ok now...but I think in the middle of the winter ...it might be tough...especially since I am always cold .....
didn't get the nap this morning..but I did get it this afternoon...about 5 I sat down in my chair propped my feet up...and went sound asleep for about an hour.....never moved..and woke up feeling great!
there were lots of cars at the park this evening ....more than I have ever seen....I hit the road with my ipod and the trees swaying in the wind...the temp was lower and so was the humidity...yea!
I battled the hills whew...they are tough...but felt good about a 10 min mile....not great...but ok for me....since i am no great speed demon....don't really care either except i think if i would run the pace that i start with i could do much better time wise.......
I have a friend who has started running in the park early in the morning.....she has named all of the statues...she says out of boredom .....she has a wonderful sense of humor and i think I am going to be looking for 'boomer' the next time I go......she complains of the lack of women recognized in the park...and I agree.....we are wondering if there is some way to campaign for the feminine side of the battle....surely the war between the states had a few women lurking around those fields.....hmmm?....something to ponder on the next run....
as i rounded the top of one hill......i see the rays of the sun zigzagging on the horizon.....the end of the day is before me...and I find that it helps to energize this pace that I find myself struggling to keep .......I hear the pat of my feet and notice in one of my songs ..... drift away...dobie gray...talks about wasting time and how he is counting on the beat to free his soul.....he wants to get lost in rock and roll and drift away....did you know there is a tick tock in the background of that song....listen to it.....first time I have ever noticed that....and I listen to that song on most of my runs.....silly ..huh?....yep..it is...........
the run was good for me....
I think I am fixing to see if this hot water heater was worth the money!
toodles for today

I love the Drift Away song--I'll have to put on my music thingie. And, I think a 10 minute mile is awesome so be proud of yourself.
