saturday

Went to the Indian Creek greenway and walked 4.75 miles this morning. I actually did walk/run for about half of it There are lots of other walkers who use the greenway, so I don't feel out of place (or pace).  Dang it, it was warm enough when I went  walking that I sweated out just a bit of red-pink hair dye on my white tshirt.

Did some online shopping and picked up a pair of Newton running shoes for cheap. They are the same loud colored orange and green as the pair I wore to my wedding. Think I can get a few more miles out of my Sketchers, but they are beginning to wear out. Figured it was time for a back up pair. I do have a previously purchased new pair of Hokas sitting in a box here, but decided they were more shoe than I needed for training right now.

Also bought a gift for Lennon's birthday, a realistic and anatomicaly corrrect boy baby doll. (I can just hear his other grandmother going "Oh my!"  when she sees the doll has a penis.)  Hannah and Ken have no problem; they are the kind of parents who encourage using proper names for things and the boys know "boys have a penis; girls have a vagina." I thought about wrapping up the doll nude (he comes with a  shirt, diaper, newborn cap, booties) and saying the gift was a naked doll from my naked cat--who was born one day after my grandson. Just being silly,

Of course, I am required to bake Lennon's birthday cake,; it will be shaped like a numeral "2" and decorated with Batman motifs.
