The Desert Awakens
Today is my official day off of exercise. I will probably lift weights. My arms are getting flabby and I can’t have that. Yesterday I went for a 1 hour trail run with the tail wagger and the nub wagger.
The tail wagger was having a tough time about 50 minutes into it, so instead of re-living the Norwegian Elkhound heatstroke, total blood transfusion, carry off trail, we took it EZ for the last mile-ish. Mojo’s got to get in better shape. He’s too heavy to carry off the trail like I did the other one, for 2 miles, so well, Mojo would have to be left for dead. We had a great time though.
I have been feeling guilty, yesterday, I forgot to swim. I’m not sure how that happened. I didn’t remember until 12:05 and it goes to 12:30. So today, being off…it feels like everything is just going to my hips today. I don’t see how that can be since all I have eaten is: eggs and fruit/chicken and vegetables. That’s the kind of food that will never go to your hips. Now if I can just keep my hand out of the ‘crack’ jar, I mean cookie jar. To me, they are about the same as far as addiction goes. Not that I have ever done crack…ok, this is ‘on the road to no where’.
Ladies, I know you know what I am talking about. That guilty feeling. It’s like race performance. It’s all mental, it’s a mental game that’s easy to win, as soon as you realize you can control your thoughts.
Tuesday I had my Mountain Bike Ride. It was awesome. We’ve had some rain, every day and the desert is totally awakening. So it was mostly a tempo ride with a photo time line.
And my personal favorite: Indian Paint Brushes:
And then, there’s another one of my favorite flowers:
Nice head ware: girl.
