Week 19 of IMCDA Training...

Wow, about a month out and I'm getting excited and nervous. This was our last long weekend of training and I have to say I'm glad it has come and gone. I decided early on in the week to take off Thursday evening and go home and re-do my flower beds...most if not all my poor flower had died. Friday, is always my day off so I went home and napped. It was all I could do to get up and plant a few more things in the flower beds and go to bed.

Saturday morning came early...like 5am early. So I got up and headed to meet the group for a ride I was a little concerned about. No shoulders on this road and I was going to be out in the middle of nowhere. And did I mention...possibly rain starting between 11am-4pm. We get going and I'm feeling good. We make it about 50 miles and the rain is coming down pretty good. We continue on and make it to a major intersection and I decided the roads were unsafe(wheel slide going down a hill)and started to head back to the school with a few others. We made it to Freescale and hooked it to the parking garage and waited on Collin to pick up a few of us. We load up and head back to the school in the pouring rain and unpack and everyone heads home. I went home and slept part of the day and enjoyed it.

Sunday's 5am wake up call was way to early! Collin had to get up to work and well I got up to wake up and head out on a 17 mile run with David. I had planned on running 7 miles before I met him but ended up running like 1 mile. I met David on Town Lake for the fastest 10 miles of my life, probably the slowest 10 miles of his life and knocked it out. It was great...a change of pace and a change of face did me justice! I'm hoping we can continue to run every weekend just so I can have something different to look forward to.
