Dark isnt the word for what it was out there this morning. It was a tad cool so i wore my night life jacket... by mile and half I was HOT!.... Perfect weather for running or sleeping in a hammock (which i plan to do later today) low 70s (like 72) no wind- over cast ...... but 88% humidity which is HI for here. I grew up on the coast of texas and wozer if felt like texas coast this morning! By the time I was done I was DRENCHED in sweat... nothing evaporated. NOTHING. every crook and cranny was sweaty. and boy did I ever stink! thankful for the lighting! :) . thankful for God's word etched in stone! So this is how it went down. mile one.. great mile 2.. great but hot mile 3.. took off jacket and then great mile 4... this song came on and I cried. Thinking of all my girls going to do their halfs on saturday and those who have already done them and those who wish they could. Mile 5 .... OH GLORIOUS MILE FIVE... .LOVE LOVE LOVE MILE FIVE... run...

no run thursday :)...

I had planned to run today.. but i should have known better.. esp after last thursday and how tired i was after teaching all day :) so.. I will run my 50 mins tomorrow :) this might push my long run to Sunday.. but its all good.. as long as i stick with one day a week then i am just fine with being flexible on my thursday :) eats were good all day today and i felt great. UNTIL we got home i was i tired and we decided to order pizza for supper THEN we made homemade brownies and ice cream after that! .. its all in a good time cause we have some guys spending the night with the boys tonight.. how fun its been for them .. and a joy to hear :) the boy things that go on :) so.. today was "good" and "bad".. but ... i am not upset or worried. or frustrated... no biggie.. I am on track.. i will make progress.. :) i am thinking i might stop lifting weights on lower body for a while though... my legs and tushy are getting good muscle.. but they are getting bigger and not smal...

26.2 post

URGH... its taken me FOREVER to get a video up .... I had to keep making it shorter and shorter.. .. it only seems right that a marathon video should be a marathon length dont ya think? .... I finally got it to work :) yipee.. (see below) If it doesnt play when you click the arrow... click on the upside down arrow :) I added this second video... its the same but a bit bigger.. or you can go to vimeo and watching it even larger if you want :) Untitled from ruthie swed on Vimeo . If that wasnt enough for you... heres some text scoop :) first of all friday didnt turn out like I expected. I didn't get all my meals in and I got to bed later than i wanted-needed too. Saturday morning I woke up very tired. I considered just skipping it and running the Marathon another day. I tried to go back to sleep but just couldnt. I got up and left the house by about 610am. I knew this would come back to haunt me.. an hour in west texas makes a big difference when you are talking about morning heat-...
