I've been a slacker...

... and have not been doing much preparation in the last two weeks for the 3-day. In fact, I've not done much training, have not done any fund raising, not even any blogging. I have not figured out how to fit training walks in on Tuesdays or Thursdays (or any other work day), because of stuff going on in the evenings. Weekends have been hit or miss. I've not yet done the full mileage that the training plan calls for on *any* day. The more I write this paragraph, the more I feel down about what I've not been able to accomplish. (sigh.)

On the bright side, I did walk last night and this morning. Last night I did a 3-mile loop at dusk, and had the pleasure of seeing hundreds of fireflies and a few deer in the woods, plus some butterflies and squirrels here and there. That was very pleasant. This morning my husband and I went out for a bagel, and took the 4.6 mile round trip that I described here. I had a yummy breakfast, a nice walk with my sweetie, and got the walk out of the way early. Which is great, because it's about 91 degrees here today with hot sun and high humidity. Whew!

Now I have to build on this momentum and keep up the good work this week. I'm going to look at the calendar today and make sure I schedule in my walk time. I'll see if I can get some walking dates planned with friends so I have no way to back out. Gotta get back on track. Wish me luck!
