It's cold and windy,

and my back has been hurting while I'm walking. What's up with that?

Not as cold today!

And, I actually spent part of my walk on the phone with my friend, Anne, and didn't die or anything! She called with a question, and we talked 15 minutes or so. That's a good sign that things are improving!

Off to the shower...

Brrr!

For being nearly 50 degrees out, it sure was cold! It would have been fine (better than fine, I was walking when it was below 20 in Jan. and Feb.) but it was really windy.

Then, just to put the ice-ing on the cake, the water from the golf course sprinklers got picked up by the wind and splattered me. I gave up, and called for a ride home (only the 2nd time ever, the first was because I was lost) and only made just over 2 miles of the 3 I had planned.

Slow but steady

Back in the Saddle!

I had a really bad bout there for a while. I had a crazy spell of diarrhea (sorry, TMI?), then a trip to Iowa for my Grandma's 85th birthday, then the Iowa Death Flu. That flu was AWFUL, I still don't think I'm over it, and it started the first week of March.

Anyway, I'm back up and walking, and trying to get back in the swing of it. I did 1.5 miles last week, and I thought it would kill me. Today I did another mile and a half, and it wasn't too bad. So, I think I'll be back up to where I was pretty quick here.

I'm also 34% of the way to my donation goal. As of today, I have raised $503! I need $1500 to participate, but I've still got over six months so I think I'll be fine.
