Wind beneath my wings... errr ummm....

It is a beautiful day in DFW. It started off really ugly with random spurts of heavy showers. But by noon it was absolutely gorgeous. I HAD to go out and enjoy this weather!

So my training schedule said today i should do: 2 miles or cross train. Hmmm...well all the books/websites say cross training might be something like biking or swimming or walking. Well, i don't own a real bike. I'm not even sure if i can still ride a bike....i know...i know... but i don't believe cliches that might end with me face down on the pavement with bruises all over my legs...

So biking was out if i was going to go outside. (I have an exercise bike in the neighborhood gym but its gorgeous outside)....so option 2...swimming...

Ummm...I can't. I dunno how. I was traumatized as a kid when i was learning and never tried to learn again. So no swimming.

So what did i do? I walked! 2.5 miles actually. It was so beautiful i didn't want to stop. I went to the park and was so impressed by all the average joe type of ppl there. Were there "real" runners. YUP! But did they outnumber us? Nope. I blended in just fine. So i walked, no music, just me and the wind beneath my wings...err...umm... no this is not the bachelor. (i digress...my apologies).

But the wind felt great against my skin. I enjoyed it so much. There was one woman however that kept giving me funny looks when we passed eachother. Most just smiled or said hi. She rolled her eyes the first time we passed each other. The second time she looked at my feet and snarled. I had to check myself...do i stink? (casually raised arms and checked)...NOPE... i did look down and realized i was doing a Mo'Nique. (very hairy legs, but is that offensive). Then the 3rd time we passed i saw her stare at my chest before she stared at my feet. I must have food all over me.... NOPE...

I looked down and realized i was wearing my turtle shirt instead of my cupids chase shirt. They are both long sleeved and white. But turtule shirt has the cutest turtle on it and above it reads "Shut the Shell UP". LOLz. Didn't mean to offend her but that sure cracked me up.

I really enjoyed my walk. 3 miles tomorrow (plus strength training):
