Finally!! Damn I've been trying to write this blog for a while but the damn cursor wouldn't start up in the writing section.
Anyway, today I started off with my 3 miles. I walked late though. I didn't get out there until 9am. That sucked because the summer heat really weighs down on you after 9:30am. Dang! I was sweatin pretty bad. It was so hot out there. I walked pretty swift for maybe the first mile and a half, but after that, the heat was too much and I really slowed down. I was dragging by the time I topped the hill back home. I didn't get back until 11am. 2 hours to complete, which is not good. I average about an hour and fifteen minutes when I keep up a swift pace. If I add some running in there, I'll get it done in an hour. It's a long walk, 3 miles, so it takes time. When I'm out there actually doing it, it really doesn't seem to take that long, but then when I get home, I look up at the clock and it's always the same. Crazy!
After I got home I cleaned up, then went to church. I was pretty late. Church starts at 11 and that was right when I got home. I didn't get there until after 11:30, but it was ok. I still caught the tail end of the sermon which was great to hear. After church, Lees and I went to lunch with my Mom, Dad, Brother and our Pastor. That was a great time! Our Pastor is a really outgoing and funny guy. He's only our pastor for 2 months. After that, I don't know what's gonna happen, but he's a good man to have. I ate a pretty good meal. I can defintely say my stomach isn't what it used to be. I couldn't finish my food. We ate at Golden Coral. I ate one plate of delicious salad, then after that I got myself a plate of food from the buffet. That's the one I couldn't finish. I got so full and I diciplined myself too. The second I felt full, I put the fork down and said, 'No More!' I finished my Diet Pepsi, then just waited for everyone else to finish. All in all, it was a great lunch.
Anyway, that was our afternoon. Lisa went to work soon as we got home. I waited until 5:30pm to do my second 3 miles. I wanted to go at 4:30, but oh man it was just too hot out there. I don't wanna end up gettin a huge headache from the heat so I waited. The walk was great! I made up for that slow pace from this morning and I hit it pretty hard. I walked swiftly and added some running in there! I felt really energized and just put it on into my walk. My legs sure feel heavy though. I'm planning on taking a rest day tomorrow. This evening I cleaned up my foot. A few weeks ago, I got a big blister on my heel. It hurt then, but not anymore. I didn't know it was still there. Anyway, I got rid of it. I also had a popped blood vessel or somethin underneath my heel. It was there for a while. It looked like a small bruise and I mean small like the size of a dime, small. Anyway, the callus under my heel finally started to break off so I cleaned it up and ended up peeling all that dried up skin off and sure enough, it was a blood vessel or somethin of that nature. There was dried up blood underneath that dead skin that I took off. Crazy! Anyway, I cleaned it all up really good, washed it up and used that heel shaver thing to scrape off the rest of the dead skin. Now it's all smoothed off and lookin good. Feels nice and strong when I walk too, which is Awesome!
After cleaning up my heel, I put some jeans on, some strong shoes and I headed outside and began the task of ridding my yard of weeds. There are a lot that popped up everywhere and I never got to cutting them. Well, today that changes! I spent 3 hours out there cutting in the dark. There was no moon tonight but I had my security light so I went by that light. I cut so many and raked up what I could after. I couldn't really see much so I know I didn't get them all. I'll have to finish up tomorrow. I stopped when Lisa got home from work. I can't wait to get the place cleared off. It'll look pretty darn nice ;)
Ok, that's about it for the day! Finished out my 6 miles today and had an Awesome time with Family. Lookin forward to tomorrow ;) Goodnight!
