What a day!!!

Today has to be the most active day I have had in a long time and I have had fun every step of the way. This morning at 7:50 the team met up at the health shoppe in suburban plaza with the Knoxville track team to train. we did 3miles and that last hill was a killer. I thought I was going to have to be pushed up the hill, but I made it. We then spent some time looking at what the health shoppe has to offer. They have so many great things in there from supplements to a treadmill that helps take the weight off of your knees when you run by using air. I was very impressed and will be going back to use some of their equipment. I also would like to thank the track team they were all so very nice and supportive. It was great to have them encourage us and to give us tips on what we could do to help train. After we got done training we did what I would like to call team support time. we all went next door and had Starbucks coffee while getting to know each other better and meshing as a team. When I got in my car and was headed home it was only 10am and I had soooo much energy that I decided to text my friend Jackie to see if she wanted to hike to the top of House Mnt. we are both not spring chickens and both have bad knees, but we made it to the top. It was wonderful! We did have to take a few breaks to catch our breath, but I think we did great. All in all I walked over 14,000 steps and that is just my training in the morning and my hike this afternoon. wow I'm so excited about how well I did. I'm a little tired and my knew is a little achy, but its not hurting at all. I'm sure I'm going to sleep so good tonight. lol
