Walking today waiting for the rain

HOT HOT HOT and sticky.
Been taking my walks outside for what reason I do not know.
Maybe somewhere in my brain I am thinking that if it is sweltering outside I can lose more weight.
I walked for 3 1/2 miles today.
I'll take it. It is a lot better than I was doing last month.
I wonder why, at my advanced age, I lose interest. I THINK I am in for the long haul.
I actually think I am right now. I have days though where I blow off exercise all together.
I feel better afterwards. I enjoy the benefits. I am losing weight, slowly but surely.
Why does my achieving mind allow myself to slip?
Ahh another answer I will never find.
I wanted to run so badly in the Komen Race for the Cure in October.
There is no way I can do it. I know I can walk (or can I) the whole distance but I wanted to be able to run.
The next marathon goal I am thinking about it the Myrtle Beach BiLo Marathon. There is a 5k and a 10k (again, I think). It is in February. I think I can handle that.
It is at least a goal to strive for.
Mr. would come along.
He was a multi marathoner afterall. Boston, NY and a few small town races. He still holds some record at his highschool.
When I met him, he would always tell me he was a "legend".
He's been wanting to get back into running for the last 5 years at least.
He has come to the gym with me and walked with me a few times.
He's too competative. He gets frustrated if he can't go ALL OUT. I wish he would discover running again...for his own sanity.
