Gorgeous Labor Day weekend (in our dreams)!!!

Another beautiful weekend in paradise!!

This was Hurricane Frances' calling card - we got this wave mid-afternoon Saturday. The last band came through about 2 hours ago, which makes 48 hours of hurricaning. Really - could we have had a more entertaining weekend? It was AGONIZING at best. The children were cooped up, the weather unpredictable, the newscasters annoying... Just to add insult to injury, the children are out of school again tomorrow.

No - better yet - this is the true definition of "insult-to-injury": IVAN. Ivan the Terrible, out in the Atlantic, stepping onto the conveyor belt which keeps bringing these storms to our back door.

Back to the topic at hand. Sunday was a rest day. I think I might have taken that command way too seriously. I did NOTHING but rest - and fret. Today, fearful that the power would go out (as it was more blustery and foreboding today than even yesterday) I didn't dare step on the treadmill until the chance of it stopping short and throwing me through the guest closet doors were slim-to-none. That meant it was 9:30 PM. My assignment? An easy 3 followed by a speedier 1. I did 3 at 5 (12mph) and 1 at 6-7 (10-8:34mph) at a 1% incline. It took me 45 minutes. Not a time to write home about, but it got the job done.

Tomorrow is track - yay. I have to say, I am really enjoying group practice. It's good to be around other people who share your same goals and interests. It's good to be around people who can teach you - who WANT to teach you - what they've learned.

To wind up, I found the Disney course and I have to say, it got me VERY excited. I just cannot imagine what it'll be like to run through the happiest place on earth. I'm sure I'll have moments where the happiest place on earth will rival hell, but as far as view go this just can't be beat, can it??
