well......humid as it is......i set out in the predawn morning to whip this old bod into shape.........it feels like a steam room out there .....and I am thinking do i really want to do this?!......no..i don't...but get your butt out there.....so..I DO.....
the trees are dark and standing watch with the sliver of a smile from the moon .... I walk to the stop sign at the bottom of the hill and then run to the next one feeling like my breathing has gone haywire....not to mention that a neighbor is walking up the other road and I feel like I have been caught with my hand in the cookie jar. Don't ask me why?.....I guess I feel silly sometimes running.....maybe because I am 45....but I know it makes me feel good....so......too bad...but still...I feel awkward....I am so not one of those easy athletes who just gracefully runs down the road......ok....insecurity..I know...but oh well...........I got more than one!....go figure...
I digress........the lake is still and silent......waiting for the next breeze, I suppose.....I am not sure breezes are available with all of this heat....I make my way from lamp post to lamp post...and find myself tired already....I did not want to get out of my bed this morning...and I know that I still wish I was there......the thought crosses my mind to head back home..but NO.....move....so..I DO.......
I find myself walking half the time.....and I don't care.......I AM moving....
all of this exercise thing is a mind game anyway.....isn't it?....lol..........
as I walk over the dam of the other lake in the neighborhood....I feel the sun moving on up.....and the sweat rolling down this back......and i am thankful that I am almost thro........the dogs on the last leg are in an ornery mood...they bark and one of them stands in the middle of the road and challenges me to pass by....I do anyway...the damn dog is not messing me up now...I am almost through....yep..redneck..I know...................................I find myself listening to a new album of Sheryl Crowe's....it is good some of the time...but I find most of the songs so politically oriented....I want to say....lighten up will you sheryl.......I am sure she would do just that on my command...right.>>?.......yea..right.....
well......boys are asleep...and I rattle the knob of the front door to prepare them for me to wake them up...the youngest has cross country in the park.....and the other wants to wash his car......which is amazing..since he has not done that in a while....
They are gone now....and I am fixing to head out to run an errand and then who knows what the day holds.....tooda loo to all....PG
song of the day..... Doctor my Eyes...sheryl crowe
word of the day.....exuberant...high spirited
