We got a nice Arizona Desert Monsoon last night.  I slept through it, but I saw the aftermath this morning.  Trees blow over.  Branches in the road.  PUDDLES in the street!  My 3 miles felt fine this morning.  My breathing was nice and relaxed.  My legs felt good.  It was just incredibly humid.  I had my own monsoon going before long.

The other day I saw this picture of myself and thought, "Dayyyng, I looked good!"  I haven't done a P90X workout since Oct. 3rd of last year.  So I finally broke down and brought it with a little Chest and Back/Ab Ripper X.  I can barely type now.

Last night (because I'm writing this Wednesday morning) ended up being a long night with the first planning meeting of the year for the Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona Walk.  I wanted to get a run in before my P90X workout, but it didn't work out.  I did Plyometrics X.  Now I know why most people give up.  Wow, I'm sore!

I also just got news that a friend of mine lost her job last week and is in the hospital.  I'm not sure if whatever's wrong with her caused her to lose her job or if she lost her job and did something crazy that ended her up in the hospital.  Time will tell.

Ok, so I posted a link to my fundraising page for the Sharing Down Syndrome Arizona chapter on Facebook.  I put as my goal to raise $500.  After less than a day I'm already 30% of the way there!  I might as well post it here to.  Don't tell Sasha.

If everyone can just throw in a dollar or two, I'll get there in no time.  The SDSA org. provides much needed support for the families with Down Syndrome children.  So many people just don't know what to expect, and SDSA helps support and educate them on how wonderful it is to have a special little child with DS.

I finally am mobile enough to kind of jog a few miles.  Holy moly!  I don't remember P90X being so hard.  Well, I was supposed to meet my Ragnar team this morning, but I was the only one that showed up.  DOGGED!  I ran all by me onesy.  There was a steady sprinkle the first mile.  The other three miles my sweat compensated for the lack of precipitation.
