We have a new lawn customer and we cut and trimmed her yard yesterday. I volunteer with her in the gift shop at the hospital when her partner can’t work. I decided to rake all the leaves that were in the front ditch and under her hedges. This bright idea took me three hours and a multitude of leaf bags.
Raking…..bending over and filling the sacks…..carrying them/dragging them to our truck….wow….that was a GREAT workout. Although the weather was cool, I managed to work up a sweat. When I finished and stepped back to look at my work. I was pleased. It looked great. She kept telling me to quit because she thought I was working to hard. I knew she was happy with the end result.

Race: X – Country Half Marathon, Alafai State Park, FL
Time: 1 hour 31 minutes and 40 seconds, 10th of 178
I was really pumped for this race, I had been training hard and running about 40 miles a week. I ate well the week prior to the race and had a solid training week. End result: worst half marathon ever by two minutes.
