Bloomsday in the books

Well I did it.  I walked in Bloomsday 2013.  I finished at 2:39:22.  My first one and many more to come.  My bestie Sirena walked with me.  Had a fabulous time.  Beautiful weather.  Thousands of people.   Walking in a 5k on May 11 here in Hermiston.  Have two more next month.  Then it will be just local walking until this fall.  I have decided to do a half marathon that is local instead of going all the way to Vancouver, WA.  Little bit easier on my body.  I have to thank my daughter Nicole for getting my addicted to doing 5, 8, 12ks and halfs.  I have lost a lot of weight and inches.  My health is getting better.  I'm not as stressed, more relaxed, sleeping better.
