 My Baby

My Nicholasville Bunch!

A few cool scenes from the city...

I competed and completed the HOF 5K, but didn't tell anyone that I actually signed up to do the Half, and I knew I was going to be Oh. So. Slow from not enough training BUT, still wanted to try... only to get turned around by a un-informed course volunteer which means I did manage to walk/run 6.85 miles of 13.1..I'll be do the balance sometime this week...

   

Came home from Canton for a few days then Off to Flying Pig in Cincinnati...lot's of Expo fun...

Happy Homemaker Monday 4-11-22 [ a Month+ later ]

 Well, Well WELL...guess who finally decided to show up again after a Month and a Half...

It's been a busy year and thank goodness I'm #retirednotexpired 🤣 This last month has been a blur of activity and Ky weather has been so unpredictable causing me [of all people] to fall into the ''don't give a you-know-what mentality''. 

The Hubby did have a really good Dr appointment last month....scans from his legs showed much better blood flow and he is to continue walking on the treadmill daily along with the meds prescribed.

The Hope Center recovery run group resumed last month for now I'm with them on Thursday evenings getting them prepared for their first competitive race event at the end of May...

 

2 other ladies and the 2 gentlemen on far 'R' are also run/walk volunteers...my team at RaceRise and I are sponsoring their entries for the race, I can't wait to see their finish line faces.

Since I last Blogged my weekends have been busy with race events including a 'Run'cation with my daughter and her BRF competing at the Pistol Ultra in Alcoa, Tn...getting signed up as a pacer was a surprise and unexpected...it was what it was! I still had a blast being the Pit Crew Mom and seeing a few of my other runners there.

Hiking on Tuesday's have me connecting with lots of different Ladies and I've enjoyed talking and learning about wildflowers and histories of the trails we are on.

 I competed at the Spring RTB Yearling race...well let's just say I participated😒. Training has been on the back burner, which will be even more apparent at 2 different race events later this month, however I'm still going to give it my all and hope for the best.

Enough of the past few weeks, I'm back to joining up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom  for Happy Homemaker Monday! 

The Weather...

This morning weather was Great for spreading mulch with the Garden Club at Constitution Square park, more to do but we were able to spread 2 dump truckloads.. blog post on that to come...[😬 I hope] it's currently raining and looks like it may rain for the rest of the night.

What I'm reading...

I stopped reading ----> it's just not keeping my attention like the first book in the series, I'll go back to it later,

I have started reading 

                                 it's has Dragons, Wraiths, ageing Firefighter that becomes an Elite Smoke Eater, and more futuristic fantasy stuff. Luckily I have joined Book Connections at church so will get to some more...let's say better insightful reading.

Other offerings will be Baked Potato night, Hot Dogs [got a craving for them😐don't know why], Meat Loaf, Veggie Burgers, Pizza, Frozen pkg meal from Aldi's--all this will have leftovers for either lunches &/or dinners.

Goal/To Do List...

On my prayer list.....

 

Miss Maudlin, this little girl was riding her bike in her neighborhood and was hit by a SUV....they didn't stop! Hopefully someone knows/seen it happen and will report it to local PD. I have made it a point to mention on my Monday radio segment how difficult it is to be able to safely ride a bike ANYwhere!! 

Bible verse, Devotional....

Luke 1:37 ''For with God nothing will be impossible''

That has me somewhat caught up, will do my best to be more up to date because I have lots of Fun activities to share...
