friday in the rain

It poured all night. It was a terrific sound. We need the rain so badly. I went out at 6 to weed, but was soon chased in by another batch of hard rain.

I talked to Bonnie, and later Betsy, and we decided no walking today. No getting to see Izzy playing a cone head.

But I was antsy. The sky brightened up and I decided to walk to Bottom Dollar for a few groceries. Just to be safe from the next downpour,  decided to wear my rain coat. And it's a good thing I did. Not because of the rain, it just drizzled a little. But because it was so cold and windy out. The wind was nasty. It felt like March. It drizzled a little. It might have rained while I was in the store, because the sidewalks were wet again.

I bought a little more than I planned so I had two heavy reusable sacks of groceries. The scenic walk home was weight training!

My "Tail on the Trail" goodie bag arrived today. There was a string backpack and a water bottle. Bonnie and I were wondering when it would come. The tracker is now live on the site, so we can start doing chiseling away at that 165 miles!

Saturday Lydia and I are doing a 10K in Doylestown with the Volkssport people. I haven't done a Volkssport walk in forever and am really looking forward to it. Is D'town hilly? Hope not. I'd like to do the 10K. Need to stretch Lydia's walking distances if she's going to be ready for the Biggest Loser Half-Marathon! It's about 84 days away.
