Stormy Thursday...

Big storms last night at about 4am. Lot's of lightening and thunder. No tornado's though, that's a bonus. As soon as it gets light outside I'll be able to assess how much of my tree is scattered about my yard! Of course dogbert and catbert were up most of the night..so not much sleep on our household last night! I'll post some pics for nobody to look at later.

BTW - on another subject, I wanted to throw this blog out there for anyone that hasn't read it: http://trailgirl.blogspot.com/, it's a great blog. And by putting a link here I'm hoping I'll get some hits. :)

April!

Hey, sorry it's been a week since my last post. But I suppose nobody is too upset...as I'm fairly sure I'm the only one that reads this blog! :) But that's OK! I took Pepper out on Sat. for a three mile run. That's our longest so far. She was great and I was really tired!

Have a good April Fools Day!

On a roll...

Beautiful evening here in TX. I took Pepper out for a quick 2 mile run. I've decided it's best to use her on my fast days, as she only has one speed. Fast. Here's a pic of catbert and dogbert.

Sunday...

Happy Easter everyone!

Running content: ran 4m yesterday and am heading out for another 4 today.

See ya

oh and here are a few pics of us setting up for our garage sale last weekend. Everything you see was sold! Everything!

Back at it...

Finally got back to running this week. Wow, what beat down that is after taking the better part of a month off! Monday was 3 miles on the treadmill and Wednesday was 2 miles at the park with my dog. This was our first run together where I really tried to go at my pace and keep her moving along. She was great, it was a fast pace but even and she loved it.

The OKC Memorial Marathon is not happening for me this year, so for those of you counting, that's two events that I wussed out on so far! I'm going to plan for a fall marathon and maybe even a summer Tri if I can find a good one. I already booked my hotel for the OKC so I think the wife and I are going to go and make a weekend getaway of it anyway. I love the atmosphere of a marathon weekend and we're staying at the host hotel so it should be fun!

I met a friend in Austin this past weekend. It was my first time to Austin and, damn, what a blast! Now I know why everyone says that if you're going to live in TX, it HAS to be Austin. Great nightlife and beer spots, great running and biking trails and just overall a really clean and fun city. I'd love to live there if the opportunity ever came up.

Back to work.

Yes, this is TX weather.

Old.

Today I'm 33. Wow, what happened.
