I, Rebeka Lauren Kerns Eaton (I have to say Kerns when I use my middle name), went walking today.  In 97 degree weather.  For no reason.  I don't think that I have EVER done that in my life.  I am dripping sweat even as I type.  It is nasty, but refreshing at the same time.  I get on kicks where I walk every other day for a month or so and then I stop.  Then, I start again.  Then I stop.  I said earlier this year that my goal was to run a marathon by the time I am 30.  Training in this kind of weather is not smart.  I don't know if I will hit that goal, but I will try.  One step at a time.  Until one day my step turns into a jog...and then a run....and then a long run....until I reach a marathon.  We'll see how it goes.  Thank God that it is not humid.  That's one plus.  I can breath.  For now, it is time to  cool off under then fan and take a shower.  I smell like a dog.
