Goodness, another eventful week of walking/jogging. Monday was a holiday...did not get up to run but played 27 holes of golf (yes, I walked the course!).
Tuesday was up early to walk/jog/exercise around the island. Felt good to be outside...the sun is peaking over the Continental divide earlier and earlier each morning. Tuesday night was "Zumba" night...did not know I had so much to shake!!! And shake I did..everything shook.
Wednesday was the more intense day of walking/running....almost ran a mile..the damn asthma keeps slowing me down. The craziest thing that happen on Wednesday...I thought I heard a man screaming....(raspy, deep scream) at 5:30am on the island but it ended up being a frighten Great Blue Heron flying for his/her life from an angry Osprey. The Great Blue Heron with its huge wing span darting from one side of the river to the other...flying low, flying high with the Osprey in attack mode flying with it. I wished the Great Blue luck as I watched them fly up the river.
When I wake up in the morning to walk I usually wake up at 4am toss and turn until it is time to get ready. On Thursday I had a reprieve from walking....a wild, strong lightening and thunder storm rolled through the valley at 4am. The lightening was intense...lighting the whole house each time it struck...the thunder shaking the house...the dogs hiding under the bed. I thought it might be a brief storm but the hail came next and than the rain. Sweet, sweet warm bed..rolled over to sleep in.
Woke up late on Friday...4:50am but I was still out the door by 5am....glad I don't need coffee in the morning to get me going. The birds are singing now that it is lighter outside. Enjoyed the time outside...another mile almost ran. I am still walking/running 2.5 miles a day but I would really rather run the whole time. Maybe someday it will happen. But I am proud of myself anyway just getting outside everyday.
