Clayton County

Clayton County

I walked 5 miles this afternoon at Lovejoy Regional Park. It's a nice park, but I wasn't real impressed with their walking paths. To walk 5 miles, I had to go around the park almost 3 times. It kind of gets redundant. And they have no shade, although there is a very pretty small lake along the walking path behind the maintenance building. I saw lots of geese, too.

Site Updates

I have updated the Lake Horton entry on the Fayette County page.

I have also updated my About Me page, if you care about that kind of thing.

Breast Cancer 3-Day Training

I signed up Wednesday, and on Friday, Jeffrey and I headed to Lake Horton in Fayette County to start training. I walked my 3 miles with Jeffrey in his jogging stroller--all 40 pounds of him. As we hit about 2.5 miles, he just breaks down and insists that we have just passed the playground. After a battle of wills, he finally got back into the stroller (probably just so he could prove me wrong), and we headed to the playground. I found out today while we were walking there, that he thought the mega-huge power poles that run through the park were really big jungle gyms. Really. This is my life.

I had a class yesterday morning, so I didn't get a chance to walk. Oh, yeah. I forgot about the monsoon that came through yesterday. I did walk a little over a mile yesterday evening right before dark...and right before it started pouring again.

Today after church, Jeffrey and I headed back out to Lake Horton. I was not prepared for the number of people there today. Wow. I have never been there on a weekend before, and there are just not that many people there at one time during the day Monday thru Friday. So, we dodged a lot of dogs and bicycles and I got my 5 miles in for today.

Tomorrow is a scheduled rest day, so I'll report back on Tuesday.
