i’m happy to report that hubby ran the bridge last night.  he did good, nice and slow; not pushing too hard.  recuperating well.

me.. i walked.  it’s just too hot.  and there was smoke in the air thanks to a 900+ acre controlled burn that got out of control (gee, it’s summer in florida, was that really so much of a suprise?!).  and… well, i don’t need to make any excuses.  the fact is, i said i was taking the summer off from pretending to be a runner and that’s just what i plan to do. 

and you know what?  i liked it!  yep, i had a very enjoyable walk.  all by myself with nothing but my tunes for company, i watched the scenery and the traffic and the passersby and truly enjoyed myself.  even though i did nothing but walk, i was pouring sweat by the time i got back to the parking lot because it is just that farooking hot. 

we hung out and talked a bit and then faith and train disclosed a wing plan so we headed home to change and then we… walked some more!  we walked to our favorite plaza to meet up with faith, train, panda, and some other military guys for $.60 boneless wings.  the food was yummy, the company was fun, and conversation was eclectic.  we got back home right around 23:00 and just in time for a big storm.  that would have been a lousy walk. 

altogether, i got nearly six miles of walking in today.  and i’m pretty happy with that.
