I Could Not Resist
The other night I set out on a beautiful evening run with the husband. The temperature was in the 40s with hardly a glimpse of snow on the ground for a February day. The sun was slowly starting to go down as we hit the pavement. Spring was in the air, at least for this…

Windy Destruction
Tonight as the wind howled outside, we were inside enjoying a nice game with my parents before they take off in the morning. As we were enjoying the game, the wind decided to take a stab at our BBQ grill. There it went crashing down. It decided to pull a yard sale crash landing all…

Retirement and a cake! Congrats Dad!
My dad was a lucky man this last Friday. He was able to enjoy his last day of work. He is now a retired man. After years of hard work, he finally is able to sit down and relax, but not quite yet. He still has to make the big move out to Oregon with…

Going Away…
Last night, we threw my parents a surprise going away party. They are less than two weeks away from embarking on a new adventure in Oregon. We invited many people to come and get a few last goodbyes in before the big move. It was great to see everyone supporting them and excited for their…

Increased Mileage Update
I have been plugging away at logging my long runs over the last several weekends. From here on out, I will not be going below a 16 miler. (Other than my midweek mileage). When I trained for the Portland Marathon, I think I ran a total of 4 runs over 15 miles which included one…

Table progress
The table nearly looks like a table! Albeit upside down. All I have left to do on the construction is fasten and secure the curtains to the legs and top and the finishing stage commences! Pretty good considering I didn’t follow any plans and used free lumber!
