Week 17 day 6

My wife did it!  she ran in the Global race for the cure!  I am soo proud of her.

While she was doing that I went for a hike  off the George Washington Parkway at Turkey run park.  I did not see any turkeys.  I had a great hike.  The Potomac was high but not overflowing onto the trail.  There were baby ducks swimming with their moms, and all kinds of birds singing to me this morning.  The hike lasted an hour and I was ok with the hike back up to the park.  I never had to stop to catch my breath.  I even jogged some on the level areas.   This was very empowering since last time I felt like I could not breath coming back up to the parking lot.

Tomorrow is going to be great as I plan to sleep in as late as I can before going to the gym.  I really need a long night of sleep.  My luck I will be up by 6am.  If that happens I am going to la
