I want to be a loser

I started this week off good. Sunday did the walk, Monday was a day of rest. Monday was no problem. I worked and then dh and I headed to the beach. Plenty of relaxation there. Was really looking forward to the weather. It was hot in town and weather.com said that it was going to be 78 in Lincoln City. Should have known better. We were getting close to the beach and it was like going from a color movie to black and white. It was gray. Cool, but not too bad. But GRAY.
Tuesday woke up and went for a 1.4 mile run. It was supposed to be 1.5 but I was running blind. Just went to where I thought it was .75 and turned and ran back to the hotel. Then when we left for the day, I tracked it and it was only 1.4.
Dh and I went hiking. This is something I wish we would do more. We live in a great area so I was happy to find a trail. 1.5 miles to the falls. Down hill. We hiked down and had fun. Made it all the way down to a suspension bridge. I don’t like those types of bridges but crossed it anyways, looking straight ahead. When I got to the other side I noticed there was a waterfall. If I had looked around while crossing the bridge I would have seen it.
While we were at the bottom there was an older lady walking with her dog. She was on her way back up to the parking lot. Dh and I bet that the older man sitting in the car back at the parking lot was with her. Dh and I walked around a bit and then headed up. About 5 minutes in to our walk back we caught up to this older lady. We could have passed her and just keep on walking but we walked up the hill with her. She had no water, so we shared. Had to stop a few times for her but it was worth it. She was very well traveled and shared a lot of her life story with us. Come to find out she was 82 years old. Her dh is blind and can barely hear. I told her he is the perfect husband. My dh took our picture when we got to the top and she took a picture of us. She was so thankful we walked up the hill with her. Unfortunately my picture didn’t work. I think what made me smile about that day was she was driving a convertible mustang and she did have the top down.

Didn’t eat the best while on vacation. Lots of chowder. Some fresh fruit. Cookies. Shrimp salad.
Wednesday I was to go on a 3 mile run. But it felt so good to lay in bed for the last time before we headed home. Said I would rest Wednesday and run my 3 miles on Thursday, 1.5 miles Friday.

Thursday I woke up and got my running clothes on, opened the door to let the dogs out and hear the sound I dread. RAIN on my awning. So, I took my clothes off and went back to bed. Determined to go for my run after work. After work it wasn’t raining so I put my clothes back on and headed to my path. Path is closed for repairs. Screw that. I took off running. I made it 1.25 miles out, so 1.25 back. Only 2.5 miles, but better than nothing.
Tomorrow I am going to run in my neighborhood. My path should be up and running by next week.
