Rock CHOKE Jayhawks
I want NC to win. I know I am supposed to root for a fellow Big 12 school in Kansas...but it just isn't possible. I think it has something with my Mizzou degree. It's something they make us sign..."thou shalt never root for Kansas no matter what".
Pray for my Mamma
My grandma, who I still call Mamma (her real name is Frankie) is in the hospital....again. She was in last week/weekend with a heart scare, but thankfully her heart is ok. They ran all kinds of tests, which all came back ok - but they made some medicine changes because some of her levels still werent' quite right & she was battling nausea. I got a call from my dad again this afternoon that she was back in the hospital after being home for less than a week. I called her room & she was too nauseus to talk (so I KNOW she must not be feeling good!), but I did get to talk to my Aunt Sue who had driven in to be with her this time.
So just say a prayer for my Mamma - I just love her dearly and want her to feel better.

23 Miles
It has been hot & muggy here in Orlando this past week - and raining daily like it does in the summer! We are so anxious for another couple of warm weeks to go by so we can relax in the pool on the weekends & in the evenings.
Because it has been so hot during the days, we decided we needed to get on the trail EARLY this morning to beat the heat & humidity. So we got up before 5 (4:30 am maybe?), drank a quick cup of coffee & got on the way. We had set everything out last night, so we were out the door quickly.
It was still pitch black when we started out on the trail, so we brought a flashlight with us to use in the extra dark spots on the trail. We ended up putting it in a potted bush close to Mile 5. It was still there on the way back & we actually remembered to grab it!
It was Hhhot & muggy still at 5 am - 72 degrees on the drive there. Four hours & 12 minutes later, we had accomplished our long run of 23 miles this morning. We came back home, took showers & then grabbed a couple of $5 Subway footlongs (i cannot get this dang song outta my head!!!). I took the opportunity of burning 2,200 calories during the run to MOW DOWN a meatball footlong & it tasted goooood. We then took naps, and then went to Cold Stone Creamery - another favorite post-long run locale. Came back home & watched Fly Boys (about 1 hour too long of a movie). Then made some dinner & now watching Final Four basketball.
It has been a good day!! Thank God He has kept us healthy while training. We are so anxious to get to Green Bay!
