How Hot is it?

The heat in the south has gotten just terrible this week. Yesterday, 101 and the heat index was at 117...What? Really? Wow...I could not believe it. Today it is to be just as bad. Getting out of bed at 7:30 am this morning and the temperature was already 85, I knew we were in trouble. At 9 the hubby and I went on a 4.1 mile walk, and we sweat out butts off. I doubt he will ever say yes again to going with me on a walk. :) Tonight is the Toby Keith concert, outside...am I crazy or what? The weather channel says it will be 99 at 5 pm and it will feel like 109, 109...and I will be out in it. Oh well, it is what it is and I can't complain, because in January when it's 10 degrees out, I will be complaining then. Am I ever happy? Stay cool everyone....

Cruise

My family and I will be going on a cruise. Eleven family members will be going. We are all so excited, well except for my hubby. He was in the Navy and for 22 years he cruised...well hubby it will not be like that. I went in and preregistered today. That just means it's getting closer and closer. Did I tell you we are driving to Miami? What are we thinking? Eleven of us in the same van going down the road to having a fun time. I know the trip will be fun, I know the food will be great and I know myself and my family will have a great time. It's a celebration for my parents who have been married for 50 years...and my hubby turned 50 this year, so we have much to celebrate. I'll keep you posted on our adventure and when we return I'll have pictures to post. Happy Summer!

5 K Run

Here I am coming across the finish line of my anniversary 5K run. What a great feeling coming across the line...Yeah for me. Can't wait to do it again.

Happy Anniversary to Me...

Tomorrow is the 1st anniversary of my first 5K run. I'm so excited and going to run the 4th of July 5K again tomorrow. Last year I trained from February to July to run this event, during this last year I have run at least once a week and tried to run more. When I started the journey it was to lose a few pounds, get in better shape, do something I have never done. Once I started running I found out that it clears my mind, makes all the racing, running, unorganized thoughts go away. I focus on my breathing, my music and where I am planting my feet. Running has really helped me sort out details, sort out problems and work my way though whatever is on my plate for the day. So tomorrow when you all wake up, remember that I will be running at 7:30am. Happy 4th of July and Happy 1st Year Running Anniversary to Me!!!
