Day Seventy Four

Today was a strong day for exercise!  I started off the day with my 3 miles.  Lisa came with me.  She's really getting into her workouts again.  I'm so happy for her because for a while there, she was starting to slack off and that was really worrying me.  Now she's really taken to it well and is really pushing herself to do it everyday. 
I have two painful blisters under my foot.  My shoes are really bad.  I've been really walking so much that I just go thru shoes like crazy.  I went thru 4 pairs so far.  The other day when I ran, that was what done me in as far as the blisters.  Anyway, I took care of them today ;)  No more problems! 

We didn't take Cody with us on the walk.  It's so funny because he gets really mad when we don't take him.  He'll mess up his area where he's tied up.  He makes a mess, spills his bucket of water all over the place, then gets himself tangled up around the pole.  That's his way of telling me he's mad lol.  I never get impatient with him though.  He's my little boy!  That's how you have to be with animals.  They're not humans and they don't think the same way we do.  You just gotta be very patient with animals and let them have their tantrums, but always be there to clean up after them so they know their noticed and loved.  Cody is so spoiled.  Cooper really wants to come too, but I don't wanna start taking him on daily walks until I get him on heartworm meds.  I won't be able to do that until next week. 

I did something different today!  Instead of waiting until 4:30/5:00pm, like usual, I left to finish out my second 3 miles at 1pm.  That was Awesome!  I was just really feeling it just after I ate a small lunch.  My body really wanted to get out there and get my 6 miles over with, so I did.  Lisa went in at 1pm today, so she left about 12:30.  I got ready and headed out.  I actually did a strong walk and added some running in there, despite my blisters hurting.  I did the entire 3 miles in 1 hour and 12 minutes.  It was great!  My record time so far is 1 hour.  It's a long walk, I mean 3 miles!  But, with my pace and added running, I can get it done in an hour.  Once I start running, I hope to cut that time in half ;)  That would be a really surprising thing for me because it's quite a distance.

Anyway, the day was Amazing!  I finished out my 6 miles early and now, the rest of this evening, I'm just taking it easy.  I wanted to get out there and cut some weeds, but my foot is healing up after my 'self doctoring' lol.  I'll wait...but then again, we'll see!  The evening is young.  Lookin forward to tomorrow.  We gotta help Lisa's mom move again.  She found her own place, which is great!  Have an Awesome night ;)
