Bad boots - Day 21

Congratulations to Deannea for making the 5am trek with me!! Woooooo hoooooooo!!!! Great work :-)

Why bad boots... well it turns out the path is not as slippery as I thought. I just had bad boots on today and yesterday. T I me for a great pair. Any suggestions?

78 minutes - Day 20

So my goal time is 60 minutes and I have been doing the trek in about 67 mins. Today was 77. Am I disappointed.  NO!! Today was a hard slog up that f-in' hill. Super slippery. One step up and stop. Pull myself up by the trees and the railing. I made it :-) coming down was great fun. I said forget abouy it and slid dowb it like an alpine slide. I would say I slid about 70 percent of the way down the George Cove Mtn. Trail.  WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!!!

Walk and Talk - Day 19

Thanks to my new friend Jackie for coming on the trek with me today. You did a great job!! Thanks for the support :-)

Saturday Fun - Day 18

Thanks to my good friends the Myettes, as well as my neice and nephew(A and B) for coming along today. Monday - Friday the body gets the focus. Saturday and Sunday is for the soul! Great fun, good laughs,  awesome people!!

Think Win Win - Day 17

Someone said win win to me yesterday, then my buddy told me he was revisiting the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (if you want to learn more about the 7 Habits please see my earlier blogs). Today the idea of think win win was strong with me. Today I had to start a 1/2 hour early to make something happen at work. Its a win win because they asked me to be at the customers for 7. I explained that I run in the a.m. and asked if geting to my work by 7 would be ok. Normally I start work at 8. They agreed and it was a win win. When you seek the win win agreement nobody loses..... Except for me who lost 1 second off my time for the trek. 67 minutes.... yeah dawg!!! WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! !!!

Have a plan - Day 16

Up to now  I have just been trying it out. As of today, really yesterday I figured out my plan. 1st run from my house to 1st hill. Extrnding my stoping point up the hill each day. Then brisk walk to top of mtn.  and back down. 3rd always run best at the end. Once I get a preset distance from my house I run again. Extending that distance every day. Eventually the two ends will meet and I will run the whole way!!
