hard to believe 3/4 of the year is over!  just 28 more days til the marathon in DC.

i'm trying to get back to posting regularly... been kinda busy with the marathon training. today we finished an 18.6 mile run at white rock lake... and i can still feel the pain in my legs =)

and in the beginning

here's the beginning of the backyard transformation, started in March 2012.

keeping on

today's photo was taken exactly a year ago at the 'flights of our fathers' fly-in 2011.

it's been a tough year making new milestones and first anniversaries since my grandma's been gone.  i still feel her with me a lot of the time though, and pushing me to stand up for myself when i'd normally let things slide. she was a tough old broad and didn't take any guff from anyone. even me...

it's a long road we travel, and that marathon is only 37 days away!  this weekend is a 17 mile run.  and i'm running in the same shoes grandma got me for christmas last year.  =)

planes

one more from the fly-in... hope everyone had a great wednesday.

one more time...

and today is one more photo taken from the fly in saturday =)   remember 'no hand press'!

today's photo was taken on the under side of an airplane wing at this weekend's fly in.

jim scored us both press credentials for a game at Cowboys Stadium this past week.  if you look real close, he's down on the sidelines taking pics in this photo.

this pic was a view from the mezzanine level. the stadium is huge.
