Rocky!!!

Now I know what Rocky felt like. We didn't have Team training today so my friends and I decided to meet and train together. This time they picked me up and we drove into the park. It was sprinkling but rain or sun we have to go on Oct.21. What's a little water right? So we decided to walk 6 miles. My friends walked a way quickly and I was o.k. with it this time. I was going to take it easy, my knee was starting to feel better and I had on my new running shoes. Funny I went to the store to get running shoes whatever they had was good with me. Some ladies were fussing over the colors, I decided I was excited to have some whacky color. Finally it's my turn and the guy hands me a white, silver and pink shoe. I just started to laugh. Anyway back to Rocky. I walked about 5 miles in the rain laughing because I could wring my sweatshirt out every 5 minutes. I decided I'm not going to get a ride home I feel great. I'm already wet what's 3 more miles. By mile 7 it starts to downpour and I laugh even harder. Rain or shine. It was when I turned into my driveway that I decided to run on the deck and be Rocky while my husband and kids looked on. It was the best feeling!!! I walked 8 1/2 miles in 2 hours and 15 minutes.
