I keep making excuses for not walking - it's too hot, it might rain,...well, it is too hot for me to go walking.  Just got back from a trip to Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  Lo and behold, my dear son fixed my treadmill.  Now I have no more excuses.  I walked for 20 minutes this afternoon.  Felt good to walk, I'm not really sure why I keep fighting it.

I cannot believe so much time has gone by and I have not posted.  I have slacked off some since my last race.  This body takes time to recover. I am going out tomorrow and do two miles, maybe two and a half.  Looking forward to an invigorating walk.

I completed another 5K today. I was in Ohio for the weekend and found a race in Geneva to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project. Two of my sisters and a brother-in-law competed with me. My brother-in-law was second in his age division (65+)  He received an aluminum water bottle as a trophy. 

Here are some pictures......

     Sorry - I have been missing in action for a few days.  But I am back now and going strong.

    I competed in and completed a 5K run/walk in Hilton Head Island this morning.  I participated with my sister and her husband, and one of their friends.   I finished first in my age category. (Yea me)   Our little group all received medals for our finishing placements.   This race was to benefit the Low Country Legal Aid.

     We felt so good after the race, when we got home we started looking for another 5K for Memorial weekend while we are in Ohio.  Do we have the bug?

What a beautiful day!  Sunshine and over 90 degrees.  I had to wait until evening for the sun to go down some before I could go for my walk.  Completed 3.2 miles.  I am happy with that.

     Returned from Statesboro this afternoon.  We did a great deal of walking through different stores, doing our grocery shopping and couponing.  I did not keep track of how far we walked on Thursday and Friday, but I know it was a lot.  My body is tired from it.

     This evening Gabby and I walked for about an hour.  We covered about 3.5 miles.  I feel great.  Why does walking for health make me feel better than walking for groceries?  hmmmmm....
