I was really worried about the run this morning because I woke up and I felt like my hands kept shaking for no reason; and while I was running the first 3 miles with my friends, I felt like my vision was a little weird. I don't know what was going on, but when I turned around at the 3 mile marker, I felt better being able to go a little slower and not stress out that I was dragging the other 2 women slower than they wanted. So, even though the run started out worrisome, it actually ended up feeling much better than last week's 6 miles. I took a gatorade with me the whole way, but didn't drink it until the end. Since I've never done any sports before, I always wondered what the fuss was with Gatorade, but I sure am a believer now! It makes a world of difference in recovery. Later on this morning, I attended our Republican county convention as an Alternate Delegate. It was quite an interesting experience. I had been much more excited about politics when Romney was running (a moment of silence, please .... hee,hee ) so I thought I might be bored to death today. But it was still pretty interesting. This is my first experience with getting involved in the political process besides simply voting on Election Day. I attended our local caucus on Feb 5th, and asked a friend to nominate me for the county convention. Even though I majored in Economics, politics is it's own entity and it takes quite a bit to really understand the process. But it's still worth it - and I always get teary-eyed when I say the Pledge of Allegiance. This is a great land we live in and we owe so much to our remarkable Founding Fathers who led the way. God bless this great land! |
