Yea, it's Friday!!!!

Well, I did five miles yesterday in the heat and took today off. I look forward to seeing all of you crazy people at 5am. Looks like I'll be med teching in the UMC nursery/nicu lab every other weekend soon. I got offered the job after my interview. This will allow me to be a Mom to my spoiled kids during the week. They have gotten used to me being around the house all summer. I'll probably move in to a during the week job eventually. Miss. Symphony schedule is a bear starting the Thursday after Labor Day. We have something everyday for three weeks except for Wednesdays. Boomers at the Ballpark is Sept. 8th (plug, plug) at Smith Wills Stadium. I always enjoy playing the outdoor concerts; they're so fun and imformal.
Look everybody, it's normal to be a little nervous about the mileage, but think of all of the months of training you've done and know that now is the time it all will pay off. Don't think 20 MILES, think route: Fanning Landing, boat launch, Fox Bay, boat launch, then Campfire Circle. Piece of cake! To my running buddies: no, I'm not doing the whole twenty, but I feel your pain and agony of the heat and humidity. I'm doing nine because of the time constraint of tomorrow. Mark is out of town for the day and my son has band rehearsal at Pearl H. S. at 9am and my daughter (and me) have a Ms Metro Ballet Company pool party/meeting just past the Fannin Landing boat launch at 9:30am. So after running my nine, I'll go home, shower and become super chauffuer. If you see a maroon (no, we're not MSU fans) van drive by honking wildly......it's me cheering you on.
