Early & Cold Morning Today! 10th Day

Rolled out of bed this morning at 5:15a.m. and got my gear on and pushed out the door to get my training in. I have a full day today with being in Marion/Levy county all day and we are to leave the office this morning at 7a.m. Again by the way the temperature was not in the 40's t was 34 degrees, that's cold.

This morning my heel was feeling some pain but after about 5 minutes into it my heel eased up and I am thankful for that but this run seemed tougher for me than normal but I have a feeling it might have been because of the cold weather. I did make it through and for me that is what its about to make it through when you feel like you would rather just say I will do it another day or train when its not so darn cold! I am determined to continue this journey and reach the goals that are in front of me.

Tomorrow is Friday and I am taking the day off from training since I have gone 4 days straight and its my day to rest my body. But Saturday is right around the corner and I am excited about this being my first 5k. I do understand that I am not where I need to be yet to run the whole route and I am sure I may have to walk some but I am ok with that. My goal is to do the best that I can and just plain FINISH!

I may check in tomorrow but not sure yet as to what the day will bring but I will upload pictures and video on Saturday with the outcome looking forward to it and excited.

Have a blessed day!

In Blairsville Georgia

Just got to Blairsville Georgia yesterday to spend the Christmas holidays with my family and it's FREEZING today! 11 degrees of cold weather that we woke up to. It's nice to be here with family and that makes me think about Christmas' from years back as a child when all of my grandparents were alive and how excited I was to open presents and then have Christmas dinner at my grandmother Berry's house. Their house was (still standing) a wood framed house with no central hear and air, only huge fan and several heaters in different rooms but somehow it always seemed to be toasty in grandma Berry's house even when it was not cold, that was just the way she always made us feel! I miss all of my family members that have passed away over the years but I especially miss Grandma Berry! She is with us in our hearts though and I feel that. It's nice how different holidays can bring back wonderful memories.

That is all for now gotta play Rock Band 2 with my niece and nephew!
