Doing Toad's in Dec.

I've signed up for the Toad's race on Dec. 6.

I did it last year with Olivia before her LATEST pregnancy. I can't remember being in very good shape then. In fact, we did it pretty slow. Course I'm in WORSE shape now.

Why I do these things to myself I don't know!

It's 12 miles and hits the most brutal hills in the bluffs - Pistol (a mile long, all up and up and up), then Bastard (short, but its name speaks for itself), Then Hanglider (so named because hangliders used to launch from the top), then Slingshot (which I've never been able to go all the way up without walking), then back up Rattlesnake, across the mesa and down Toad's gully for a full mile!

Ugh!

Oh, well, I already sent in my fee so I'm signed up. No excuses!

Changed the template again

I didn't like the ALL BLACK look. I'll try this on for a while and see how I like it.

Not much to post today. I washed all my windows inside and out and washed all my dogs (just the outside).

Read the paper. And am now enjoying some lovely wine recently purchased on a trip to Paso Robles!
