Happy Fourth!

Clock went off at 5:40...nope, don't think so...this is not a work day...BUT it is going to be a HOT day...know I should get up and go to the park as planned...okay, I need to get used to the heat, so I will go around ten after I have had more sleep...I will sweat out all those toxins...hubby says, why did the clock go off...I mumble, it was a mistake...well, he is the type that once he is awake, he can't go back to sleep...sorry...back to my negotiations...it will be miserable at 10:00am so I'll just do my wog late this afternoon...no, wait a minute, we are going to a barbeque at 6pm...noise level picks up in the room with hubby NOT trying to be quiet since he was awakened before he was ready...I try to go back to sleep, but it ain't going to happen with hubby trying his best to make sure I do not have peace and quiet...reluctantly, I get up and I actually feel rested...guess I have had enough sleep with 6 1/2 hrs.
I go to the park and have a great wog day. I did 2.0/1.5 intervals for 45 min. after a 15 min. warm-up walk. No foot pain, calf pain, no pain anywhere. I decided to push myself a little more so I would be better prepared for Saturday. I did not do anything yesterday so I will XT tomorrow and I did Thursday's schedule today.
I was surprised to see so many people in the park...a strong commitment to fitness. I could not help but think about our guys and girls in far away places in less than desirable conditions committed to protecting our great country, I wogged in the park today without fear of terrorists, without fear of anything...our troops do not have that luxury. My heartfelt thanks and prayers go out to each and every individual in harm's way. As we celebrate the fourth today, let's all bow our heads in thanks for this GREAT U.S.A. !
