This afternoon I went up to Mount Charleston for our first hike of the season. I LOVE that I live 2 miles from the exit to Mount Charleston now!

895 MILES TO GO

I'm finally out of the 900s....but a couple weeks too late. No worries. I'm still sticking with it!

I think I can ... I think I can ... I think I can ...

I feel like I'm becoming a slacker with this but I still haven't given up! I'm just not ready to give up my hiatus yet....

910 MILES TO GO

It's windy in Vegas right now, and it's been windy on and off for MONTHS. This is the perfect time of the year to be outside but because of my allergies I've had to hole up inside and in a gym. Dumb wind. It's no bueno.

911.5 MILES TO GO

I've been taking a mini 'vacation' from exercising for the last week. I'll have to make it up over time, but I just needed some sleep in time. Getting back on board today....

916.5 MILES TO GO

I don't know why they say that doing something for 21 days makes it a habit, because this morning it took EVERYTHING I had to get out of bed and get out there. Is this ever going to be enjoyable?!

920 MILES TO GO

I'm finding that in the morning, before it heats up, and while trudging down the street, is when I do some of my best thinking. I've got all sorts of things on my mind, and decisions to make, and this morning when I was out runalking (my combination of running and walking) I had a whole chain of 'aha' moments and ideas. It's my 'me' time!

923 MILES TO GO

In Vegas the temperature was up in the 90's so I waited until 7ish to go out and do my thing. It wasn't long enough. My lungs immediately started burning and my mouth got all cotteney (if that's an actual word). Plus today was a 4 1/2 mile day to make up for being behind, so it was MISERABLE. I need to stick with early morning or in the gym...summer has begun!

926 MILES TO GO

930.5 MILES TO GO

This morning when I went out I had a lot of things on my mind. In the past I've found that being physically tired somehow makes you more oblivious to things going on around you. I wasn't looking for a way to get things out of my mind this morning....I was looking for a way to make things clearer. I love how doing the exact same thing can work as equally well for whatever situation you're in. Especially when it's 5:30 in the morning and the world is waking up. Good morning, Vegas!

932 MILES TO GO

Today when I said to Jack, 'let's go for a walk,' he immediately ran outside and hid under my bed where I couldn't reach him. What a sissy! I guess I got the wrong kind of dog for power walking...
