training is coming along, but i am more tired this week

my body is tired from my training, but it is going well. I’m working out with team in training – but my knees and back have been achy this week. today’s a cross training day, so i’m going to take the pup out for a walk.

Buddy Running

Yesterday was my first Team in Training buddy run. Basically this is the part of the training where you meet up with others and go for a run together. It was not easy for me but it was fun. I got to hang out with one of the Mentors (because no one else showed up to our run) and she was content to go at my snail's pace.

Today is a rest day, but I may take the pup for a reservoir walk.

Violet Blue, one of the many SF sex goddesses

I love Violet Blue. She's just so on point. Today, her column (Sleepless in San Francisco) in the SF Chronicle was all about flirting and meeting people in the city. I will use it for inspiration for my continued adventuring. Thanks, Lady Violet.

Run ThirtyGirl Run

I'm training to the Nike Women's Half Marathon at the end of October, here in San Francisco. I'm a little bummed because I twisted my ankle last week, so I am sore. But all in all I am excited.

I'm training with Team in Training, and working to raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. They are searching for a cure to blood cancers.

Officially, training starts on Saturday. I'm a little nervous that I am going to be the slowest. But, as noted on my todo list, I am trying to get over it.

today, the high priestess / card of wisdom

this morning i pulled the the high priestess card (the 2), the card of wisdom, spirituality and enlightenment. my walk was a meditation. my prayers ask for openness, a way to the path, adventure. my prayers say thank you to the universe for all that i already have.
