Day 26

Yesterdays desire for a chocolate reward has reminded me that I wanted something new and interesting to reward myself for hard virtue.

I imagine everyone would enjoy a reward all of the time.

I am got one this morning.

I am starting a new conquer challenge.

I did the Lord of the Rings one a few years ago but now I’m going to do the Hobbit.

I rejected the condensed version and will be walking the full 609 miles to the lonely mountain.

I went out in the damp in my ‘water resistant’ boots and listened to a book and saw signs of summer coming.

Also I saw signs of the mountain biker. 

I got my Pilates earlier tonight at around 6. 

My cold has gotten worse and I will say that a runny nose does some interesting things when you are rolling around on the floor. 

Ew but also hahaha

I’m watching some inspiring long distance running videos on YouTube. 

My reading tonight had me into the 5 Italian mother sauces. I will try them all out saving the meatvragu but I might try a veggie version of that as well. 

My water was off to a terrible start this morning. 

I couldn’t get the zinc taste out of my mouth until afterc3 pm. 

Everything tasted terrible. 

So I took until noon to finish my first 24 oz

I did have a V8 and a coffee and a large kombucha before my 2nd 24 oz. 

But really I only managed about 50 of water. 

No more zinc lozenges for me. 

🤣
