Ok, so it's NOT morning time.
 The truth is, I didn't feel like 'sharing' this morning, especially, after being waylaid for a week. Yep, ole mother nature had me taking a break and pampering myself a bit. Oh yeah, my breasts are now back to normal, thank goodness. LOL I'm only glad this doesn't happen often. Anyway, today was a first for me. . . . . .Instead of the park I went to the beach. I met up with a friend about 5am. . .and we walked on the beach for an hour or so. It was a nice change. HOWEVER. . .have you EVER tried running on the beach, well, in the sand? OMG!!!! I couldn't. This is something I'll have to work up to. I mean, I tried. . .it just wasn't happenin' for me. I'd get tired quickly. There's a totally different vibe tryna run in the sand. It wasn't a cake walk. I hope everyone had a great day today, I'm OUT! MLMB/Ss Fab: <<<~~~~~~~~~walked 3 1/2 miles |

I LOVE the stuff, especially, in the morning. lol But, if you don't like coffee, we'll pretend you have something that YOU in enjoy...unless, you prefer the beer. Here's to a beautiful new day. |

Good morning people, well, sorta.
As I type this. . .it's almost 11:15 am in my neck of the woods, & what a beautiful day it is. I did something today that I rarely do -- I went 'back' to the beach to run, well, walk. And I must say, I really like it there. I'm not going to rush myself and start "running" so soon in the sand, instead, today, I focused more on the "mental" stimulation I received from the whole beach "vibe." It was wonderful, I could feel the ocean breeze against my face, I could hear the sound of the ocean waves, & the seagulls. . . I took deep cleansing breaths, taking in the misty salty air. . . . . .and for some reason I felt a sense of how fragile life is & how nice it is to stop and smell the roses sometimes. The muscles in my legs were a little sore from yesterday, but I was able to get in 3 miles. As I was leaving, I thought to myself -- Life is so fragile and right now, this is MY time on this earth. . . . . .so whatcha gonna do to make it better for yourself & those around you, sista? Hmmmmmmm. . . . Yeah, what am I going to do to make it better? Definitely food for thought. Right now though, I'm gonna send out much love & positive vibrations to all my brothers & sisters in cyber space. ~~~~~~~~~>>>>> Much love people. For real. *wink*Have a great day everyone and BE SAFE. Fab: <<<<~~~~~~~~~~~~walked 3 miles on the sandy beach & LOVED IT!!!!!

Good morning
It was a little chilly this morning but a welcome change from the heat. Today I went to one of my favorite parks--the small park with the pond, exotic fish & the nice waterfall. The muscles in my legs are still a little sore from my walks in the sand, but I felt lighter on my feet--stronger & faster. I didn't take the time to "smell the roses" this time, I just wanted to get it done (my run) as quickly as possibly. When the park ranger motioned for me to come check out a baby squirrel abandoned by it's mother, I almost ignored him. I didn't feel up to chatting with him, in fact, I don't like too much 'talking' so early in the morning anyway. Why can't people just BE QUIET when it's that early? What's so difficult about that concept, huh?!? NoooooOOoooooo. . .some folks like to chat as if it's later in the day or something.. I didn't want to be rude though, so I went over to the park ranger, took a look at the baby squirrel, and listened while he described his plan to help reunite mother & baby squirrel together again, well, hopefully. Great! I said & smiled. I sure hope everything works out. I smiled again. All the while I couldn't wait to get to my car so I could leave. It's not that I'm in a bad mood or anything, I guess I'm just tired & my leg muscles are sore. . .my butt muscles are sore too. Ouch. Yeah, maybe that's it. Anyway. . . Y'all have a great day and be safe. Fab: <<<~~~~~~~~walked 2 miles, ran 3.

ahem.... have you been sleeping in?
I'm back to my morning pilates but I have yet to get up darn early enough for a morning walk...working on that, it's getting chilly, it's winter here - dammit. Fabulosa, do you eat breakfast before your run or after? And do you run with music or no headphones and just take in the time to think? I really like walking for that thinking space it can give me. Well goodnight... and have a great run tomorrow. |

Well goodnight... and have a great run tomorrow. --------------- Hey gurl, I hope all is well with you. Thank you, my morning runs have been great! In answer to your questions though. . .1 -- Nope, I have not been sleeping in. Try as I might, I cannot linger in bed unless there's a special someone there with me. . .well, not these days because I am serious about my celibacy. Hahahaha However, imo, the best time to linger in bed, is when there's someone SPECIAL there to linger with. 2 -- No, I do not eat breastfast until an hour after my run. 3 -- Sometimes I'll use headphones to listen to music while I run, but only when I'm with a group.  Most times I run with my thoughts, and I like to "think."Truth be told, I enjoy the "SILENCE" in the mornings (when I can get it). It's a real turn-on. Anyway, have a great day or evening, Firefly. I've been busy lately but I have missed y'all. Be safe, and ML~ Fabulous |

one thing I like best is to experience the city waking up, slowly, from dark to dawn to the first sounds... first early commuters, sun starting to creep into the streets... that evolution. My mornings'wake up are magpies and cockatoos arguing outside my window... LOUDLY!! That's ok though, they do their thing, boss each other around... argue... vy for attention....  |

That's ok though, they do their thing, boss each other around... argue... vy for attention.... ----------------------- Sounds like a really cool wake up call to me. A nice "easing" into the day. Yep, very cool.What I meant by "silence" is . . .no talking. Sorry I wasn't clear because your description above is more in tune with how I feel about my mornings. When I was a married lady "even then" I didn't like too much "conversation" in the mornings. We'd get up sometimes at 5 am and my ex husband would start talking. . .about EVERYTHING. lol I'd say. . ."please honey, give me time to pull my panties up before you start yapping." (LOL. I'm kidding) Seriously, I'd say something like, "I'd rather not discuss anything until I've had my coffee or time to regroup" (unless it's an emergency..of course). I only wanted 30 minutes of non talk, that's all. He never did get that right (well sometimes). Anyway, I don't like too much conversation early in the morning. In fact, I don't wanna 'think' about anything in particular. . .I just wanna take my shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth, have a cup of coffee, brush my teeth again. . . . . .Yep, 'ease' into the start of a day. My ex is the opposite, he's a talker. Fab: Do you hear that? Exhusband: I need you to pick up my suits from the cleaners today, and let's have dinner out tonight, I'll call you. Could you swing by my Mom's house and drop off something for me? Do you want me to meet you for lunch? Do we have any plans for the weekend? Fab: Shhhhhh....listen Exhusband: What? Fab: There it is again. . . Exhusband: What?????????????? Fab: Silence. LOL Ah well. Such is life. He & I certainly bumped heads in that area, though. lol |

Good morning people,
I'm running late. It's almost 4:40 am. . .and I should've BEEN GONE. I'm on my way to one of the larger parks today, and it's a fairly warm morning. It's also quiet. I can't even hear the birds chirping. What's up with that? Where the hell are the birds? Dang, I hope that's not a bad sign. :-x Hey now, don't look at me like that!!! I live in earthquake country. lol Anyway. gotta go. I'll let y'all know how it went later. In the meantime, have a great day and continue to BE SAFE. Much love my brothers & sisters |

Good morning people
I've taken to walking the beach in the mornings these days, it's such a nice change from my routine that I plan to continue my walks in the sand until the end of summer. My legs are stronger now, there's no sore muscles to contend with, and I am no longer 'tired' toward the end of my walk. I'm still not quite ready to "run" in the sand yet, though. Ah well. But it was a beautiful morning. I woke up full of energy, so I was up and out of the house by 4:15 am. . .I had no intention of being late. See. . .I persuaded a coworker to joined me this morning and I wanted to be on time. He's a "newbie" at this. . .a former "couch potato". . .so I didn't want to give him any reason to complain or "leave." lol I had to help him stretch a bit, but soon after we were off. . .I must admit the company was nice. He knows me well, so he understood--not too much talking for a while, K? This lasted for about 20 minutes, which was enough time considering this was his first day. Once we start chatting though, we still had those comfortable moments of silence. Anyway, saturday I had a conversation with some of the men I work with about the new "Superman," I was curious to hear what my walking companion thought of the movie because it seems all the men I've asked, enjoyed the movie for the same reasons--the special effects. Personally, I thought it was OK, but obviously I wasn't paying attention. lol. Anyway, we walked that last mile in silence. It was nice. My coworker, now walking companion, former couch potato says he plans to meet with me [to walk the beach] twice a week. Ahhhhhh. . .we shall see. Y'all have a great day people, and be safe. Fab: <<<<<< walked 5 miles on the sandy beach. . .and the new "Superman" movie was actually good.

Good morning people.
It's TUESDAY. . .. . .And another warm & beautiful day. I slept later than usual this morning but I must've needed the extra rest. My day started with a leisurely stroll on the beach. Today I didn't count the miles, though. Today I simply didn't care how many miles I put in. I didn't keep track and I didn't wanna keep track. Wow. I believe without realizing it, sometimes, I put too much pressure on my damn self. It was nice not to worry about, or count the miles. It was nice to walk at my leisure. . .It was nice to take my time. And you know what? Nothing happened. (gasp) And you know what else?. . . . . .this doesn't mean I'm slacking or I'm not handling my business. . .It actually doesn't "mean" anything. No pressure. Uknowwhatimsayintoya?OMG!!! I bee free now. LET MY PEOPLE GO. LOL Anyway, have a great day everyone, and remember to be GOOD to one another. MLMB/S's I'm OUT! Fab <<<<<~~~~~~Walk on the sandy beach this morning, again. *ahem* But do tell, how many miles did she walk today? Hell if she knows. . . and she really doesn't give a damn Ya heard! |

Good morning Peeps
It's WEDNESDAY. . .. . .And there seemed to be quite a few homeless people on the beach [sleeping] this morning. I'm thinking since it's been so hot lately, many of them have made their way to where it's cooler. I can't say that I blame them though, but if this keeps up, I won't be goin' back to that particular beach any time soon. Just seeing them camped out. . .was a total 'turn off' for me. Definitely a flaw in my personality that I couldn't find it in my heart to feel any compassion for them; just sickened. See. . .I love people [generally speaking] and I genuinely care about the welfare of my fellow man/woman. I am the first to offer my assistance when needed & wherever I can. But, I will turn and walk away [in a New York minute] from the dirt & stench of the mentally disturbed homeless person. There was a time when my work required minimal contact with them daily; even touching them [using gloves of course] when I had to. . . . . .apparently an accumulation [over a period of time] of my past experiences have left their mark. The stench, the filth, I won't go anywhere near a homeless person. In fact, I am nauseated by the thought. And seeing so many of them stretched out on the beach this morning, well, it was a complete turn off. I barely completed 3 laps around the beach before deciding it was time to go. Some of them smell so badly, there was no getting away 'completely' from their stench. And they were EVERYWHERE. I know some of them can't help themselves, so many are mentally disturbed. I wish I could feel more empathy & compassion. . . . . .this is a true test, as well as a flaw in my personality, the way I see it. . .cause I would like to [at least] feel "sorry" for them. But all I felt was repulsed and a compelling need to get away. To me, that's sad. Ah well. Have a great day everyone and remember -- be good to one another. Fab <<<~~~~~~ walked 3 laps -- barely |

Happy Friday & good morning. . .
Playing racquetball this morning was nice for two reasons: 1) Mr. Fireman is going easy on me these days (thanks dude) 2) I now "win" a few games. (say what?!?) Sigh. OK, so I'm not the most competitive person in town when it comes to certain sports. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I had to "insist" Mr. fireman stop playing me so hard. In fact, I threatened to stop playing with him, altogether. . . {hands on hips} Fab to mr. fireman: Why can't you go easier on a sista? Why it gotta be all that?? keep it up, and I'll drop yo ass. lol . . .Sure, I had a few tricks up my sleeve ready for him but then I thought. . .why should I go through all that trouble??? he will simply go a little easier on me, or I will stop playing racqueball with him, simple as that. Man! Heck, the way I see it. . .he can play like his life depended on it with his buddies. It ain't that serious to me. Maybe he'll get bored eventually, who knows. . .but he ain't the only racquetball playin' fish in the sea. Believe that! Goodness gracious, the things ya gotta do to get cooperation. lol Anyways. . . It's another "hot one" in my neck of the woods, have a great day everyone, and be safe. Fab <<<~~~~~played racquetball 1 hour & 15 minutes. |

Good morning Peeps...
I worked last night but instead of going straight home this morning, I changed into my gym clothes and drove to the park. My choice of location -- the park I consider my "home" park; the park where I'm most comfortable because it's peaceful there. I'm referring to the small park with the waterfall & the fish. I really needed to feel the vibe of that park. After a warm-up lap, I ran the entire 5 miles. Wow. It was great. I paced myself of course, but I was able to run as fast as I could the last mile. My walks on the beach have been very beneficial. . .the sand has actually strengthen my leg muscles. Also, there was absolutely no pain or weakness in the leg I injured [in a car accident]. I am more than ready for the marathon I signed up for a couple months ago. I feel strong. OK, I'm gonna rest now, y'all have a great day, be good to one another and stay safe. Fab <<<<<~~~~~~~~Ran 5 miles. |
