Yep! I decided to do 12 today. Rain and all! It was perfect. Just sprinkles here and there with a few moments of a bit more than sprinkles. Nothing like the "Drowned Rat Race" of May 1st!
Two excitements of the run....first was when I approached 5 deer enjoying their fresh greens for the morning. They didn't notice me and I didn't notice them until we were about 5 feet from each other. They were just off the side of the road as I rounded a corner. It startled them, (which in turn startled me), and they hopped off a ways to stop and look at me. So I stopped to look at them for a minute also.
Then I turned onto tree line road and there was about 20 feet of road covered in water from a plugged up irrigation area. A nice local farmer on a four wheeler was just finishing helping three other girl runners from the other side to my side when I got there. So he loaded me on and took me across to the other side. He said helping us across was lots more fun than working! : )
Yesterday I didn't mention the fun Tom and I had talking to our missionary on Mother's Day! I love Skype! It was a fabulous 1 hour and 36 minutes! Our missionary is in Denmark and has been gone for almost 6 months. He is doing so well and is very happy! Makes a mom's Mother's Day perfect! : )
Now off to a nice, long, hot shower!
ave. 9:26 And I just noticed it took one hour and 36 minutes....just like my Skype call....the call seemed much faster. |
