On my way to work this morning I was thinking about how on earth I'm going to be able to run that 10K a week from this Sunday - as I posted earlier this week I got 3 miles on the treadmill this week. Tomorrow should be a 4 mile run and then 3 on Monday and 4 on Wednesday. Race day on Sunday the 23rd!
At each event that I entered this year I was NOT 100% prepared, yet, I was able to finish. THAT was the theme of the year, to finish. More specifically to finish without puking, tripping or just plain stopping and taking a Did Not Finish (DNF). There is no such thing as a DNF in my vocabulary and there isn't Last Place either. My goal this year has been to finish.
So, with Run Like Hell coming up I'm sure I'll finish, but I am wondering just how much I'll be walking. I have already previewed the route so I have an idea of where it goes, but that's a lot of city streets to run through - oye.
Looking forward to a week of rest after this event...that just might include sleeping in. I wonder what that's like?
run, Run, RUN!
Retired at the end of 2020. Been trying to find my way since then. Twenty-Six years at the same job is hard to get over! In the last few months in a new space doing non-farm life (a story for another time) I have re-discovered my love for sewing - more specifically quilts. Come back to see what might be hiding here. I may post a photo or two ;)

- Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Nancy. I decided to retire early and my last day at the Fire District was December 31, 2020. My dream to do this pigs 'n poultry thing full time started on January 1, 2021. So far so good...
I like your attitude about it! Finishing, but okay with walking it, if need be. You should be hugely proud of yourself with what you have already accomplished! I can't wait to hear more about next weeks run!
