Barking Mad To Run
Posted by lily yesterday: Scotty, I never would have thought you had such a varied landscape around San Antonio. Beautiful parks! San Antonio is now on my list of places to retire to if I can ever escape here mortgage free.
Yep, all things considered, it is a pretty nice city, even though the summer heat can be brutal. Low cost of living, pretty nice weather most of the year round...and we even have a nudist colony!

Haha! I see how it is, if the climate and geography don't tempt us, you'll try to tempt us with nudity!

Z - have fun running with the track group.
Mitch - enjoy your 5 miles. I hope the FIL's surgery goes well.
Bin - good job on the 5.
Awood - I hope your hotel has a TM for you to do your miles.
Kristin - I'm glad you enjoyed your spin class. After so long not being able to exercise, be careful not to overdo now.
Cherie - good job getting yourself out the door and completing the 8 1/2.
Damaris - I hope your cough eases up so you can get some miles in tonight.
Obiebyke - hurray for the clearance to run. Have fun.
SO42 - can you at least change directions on the track, or did you have to do all your laps in the same direction? That could cause hip problems.
OFS - a good soccer game will give you lots of fast running. Good job.
HM - I'm glad the scan was clear. I hope the knee continues to improve.
Scotty - enjoy your run through the park. San Antonio does have some lovely places to run.
AFM: I got out and ran 6 on a hilly route. I didn't intend to go that far, but it turned out to be farther than I thought. Oh well.
Ginny- Nice run.
The treadmill here is not doing well. I managed to get 4 miles on it. Not too bad for being on the road.
Sloooow.
Hello all.
Week 1, Day 1 of C25K just kicked my butt. Mainly because my exercise itchies are back because of the break. That should go in a week or so though. 2.1 miles done in 35 minutes, such a neeeeeewb!
faster than a glacier
Ginny: They alternate the direction of the track on different days. I don't run on it very often, 2 or 3 times a month maybe. Usually at the gym I'll just use the TM. Much less boring than the indoor track since on the TM I can at least watch TV
Doc just called, and my CT scan was just fine!!
Woohoo!
I had a nice 7.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.

Daisy just collapsed and I had to hospitalize her. They tentatively believe it was a seizure but she is the one sick with the liver disease so they won't know until more tests.
