I think I got my MoJo back

Now, I don't know what Mojo is but I like the sound of it. If it's something nasty, y'all just let me know. But, after feeling like my marathon running days were over while struggling on Saturday and being a fine couch potato for most of both Saturday and Sunday, I was pleased as punch to have a good run today where I did not feel like I was gasping for breath--and my back wasn't hurting. Now, mind you, I was sort of okay for the first five miles on Saturday, too, but I was definitely encouraged by being able to run without feeling like a beached fish on its way to dying.

We ran into Shannon and Debra Milstead today running at the reservoir so now there are several of us out there early in the morning if anyone else is game and tired of fighting the afternoon heat. They started at 515 I think and we started at 530 this morning which is our usual starting time except for every other Thursday when Sally has an early meeting at work. I'll try to remember to post on here when we are starting before the sun comes up! Meeting my two diabetic brothers at the endocrinologist in a little while so everybody keep their fingers crossed that my brother who has been so sick doesn't have to go on insulin. The reason we are so worried about this is that he lives by himself and, as far as I know, can cook only microwave popcorn. We joke that the only time that his oven has ever been turned on is when someone's butt accidentally hits the knobs while they are standing in the kitchen talking! But, we are working on educating him on easy, healthy things to fix and how to grocery shop.
