flowers

about to get some structural work done on the house... after that, i'm working on simple things like flower beds! =)

happy memorial day

thanks to all those who've served, present and past!

i'm fairly sure i had a PR on my half marathon this morning, but the official results still aren't posted... so i'll follow up tomorrow!


update! results are in - new personal half marathon record, 2 hours 31 minutes! last record was 2:34 =)  i'll take it!

memorial day

memorial day seemed like so far away when i signed up for a half marathon back in february! and now it's here, and i think i'm ready! i know i'm ready for the first 7 miles - they're all downhill... it's the last 6 miles back uphill that have me a little worried =)

hope everyone's having a safe and happy holiday weekend!

out house

as a child, my family had a lake cabin with a real outhouse. i was always afraid of something being down that hole that was going to get me.... and let's not talk about the smell...

much like the port a potties i go in at all the runs =)  today's photo was a replica of an old outhouse at the park in farmer's branch. it came with no smells,  but i was still afraid to get too close to the 'hole' lol =)

springtime

spring is quickly turning into summer here... it appears another drought may be coming too - we need rain!

free to breathe

well, my 10k time today was slower than yesterday! but that's ok, i had a good run and worked up a sweat!

this photo was taken at the amphitheater in plano before the race started.

sunday drive

everybody loves a ride in the car on a nice, sunny sunday afternoon!

friday!

made it to the best day of the week! the first day of the weekend!  =)

tomorrow morning, early, will be the 5 and dime 10 mile run at white rock lake! i think i'm ready! although, i did eat a LOT of sweets and chocolate at work today. so i have plenty of calories to burn!

yep

like i said... slacker... i've been slacking this week - but, finally - it's here! friday!

saturday morning is the five and dime 10mile run at white rock lake... hoping to beat my time of 1:59:32 from last weekend =) we've ran some good practice runs this week, and i feel ready!

today's photo.... our training area beginning and end. highway 34 in front of the sub courthouse. from here we can run varied distance loops of 1 mile, 1.7, 2.5, 4.2 or longer... depending on how far up the highway you want to run and how safe you feel with traffic passing by  LOL

happy friday!

slacker

that's me =)  is it friday yet?
