This is part of the sacrifice and choice I have to be disciplined to make. It is not time to indulge and reward myself. I'd rather send my regrets and have major regrets tomorrow. I was really looking forward to going and was so happy to be invited. But you know what, these women of all my friends will understand... many are 70.3 and/or 140.6 Ironman or elite runners at all distances.
Tomorrow at 11am I was supposed to meet up with my ball team, the Angels for brunch. I was prepared to get up at 4:30am and do all my workouts except for the swim which I'd do on the way home... alas, another family pet is ailing - this time a horse. Not mine, but Karla Blackmore and family's old mare is poorly. Karla isn't just fabulous 1st base but she selflessly devotes countless hours being our manager and team captain.
Karla wisely postponed... Here she is with Alpine (gotta love being able to poach pics from FB)
No need for a pity-party though... thanks for my Birdie. I will open my monthly pre-50th birthday gift tomorrow as a reward after completing all my workouts! Naturally, I didn't feel much like celebrating on the 19th.
