Walk to Mordor

Cardio is no fun, even when you are watching Netflix while doing it. Strength training can be fun as you see yourself getting stronger, upping weight/reps. Yoga even is good because you can get into different positions, hold for longer, take less rest breaks, etc. Cardio is just... cardio. I've attempted to play with it some by keeping my pace the same and changing the incline, but now, I have it. The way to make it mean something. I'm going to track my walks and see how long it takes me to get to mordor. I've broken the walk into sections to keep myself motivated (cuz 1880 miles is gonna take a while). First bit is hobbiton to the brandywine bridge. No, none of it is totally accurate, yes, I'm going from the movies, not the books, no, I'm not planning on wearing the one ring or hauling Sam's camping gear. Just wanted to give my treadmill sessions more whimsy. 🤪 I'm also not gonna do it in the same time frodo and Sam did. By my calculations, I'll make mordor by 2030 or so. 😜

It was a walk and yoga week, and I treated myself on Wednesday with a yoga flow class AND a deep rest class. I needed the deep stretching. My back has been killing me and I had a weird right side pain event that I'm keeping a lookout for. It was probably just muscular, but if it comes back I may need to get my organs checked. Sigh. I also decided to treadmill for an hour, so I watched an episode of Wednesday. Luis Guzman is a wonderful Gomez Addams!

I got new nails this week, too!!

and they GLOW in the dark!!

Might have let them get SUPER LONG for this one. Hehe. 

Also, cats are creepy!!! 

What is he looking at??? What IS IT?!?!

A and I met up in weatherford on Fri and had Chilis. We tried their $6 margarita of the month, the witches brew. SO GOOD. Then we had nachos.

Witches brew

chicken, bacon, ranch nachos. And of course we had their chips and salsa. 

Sat I had yoga, went to the farmers market, and then came home to get ready for Scarborough Hollow!! Bestie came up for it, and I made us brunch of biscuits and sausage Gravy with eggs. 😁 bestie and I got to "hag" out after all!! 

Hehe

Scarby hollow!!

She is cute and witchy, i went hard on the spiderwebs.

I make him take selfies

They are fun.

he doesn't mind, I swear.

Beer tasting 1 and 2

Snackies

I love Elysian 

We met up with friends, including my bestie from d&c's wedding. D's momma, S! Hehe, shes amazing, and id love to see her and my momma together. Shenanigans would ENSUE.

Great tavern, had the almond sparkling wine that hubbs and I found in grapevine.

My bbq potato! Sooo good. 

Here is s and c reenacting the David of the sistine chapel, while I take a pic and hubbs laughs.

From the other side. Lol.

We had such fun! We came home and threw on young Frankenstein while showers were taken, and then we all went to sleep. For a new Halloween version of scarby, it was pretty successful! All had a good time, and we came home with new beer tasting glasses, a LOT of chocolate, and I got 2 new hair claws! 😁

Sunday bestie and I chatted a bit before she had to jet out. I think hubbs and I shall have a lazy morning before he has to go to work, and then Ace and i shall be lazy until my 6pm yin yoga class. That's another deep stretch and rest one. 

I hope all of you are having a wonderful time, enjoying the furnace cooling down a bit. I think we have one more week of kind of hot weather before it cools down next week. Now I gotta go... I think the cat just threw up. Lol. Hugs and love, friends!!+
