Under the Stars

Last night we sat out on our back porch and enjoyed the silence.  We had good company, decent wine,

and good music.  We spoke of important, world shattering topics.  Like:
Ron: "If we won the lottery, I don't think we should move.  We'd just make this house amazing."
Me:  "If we won the lottery, I'd quit my day job."
Important stuff.  Definitely.  But, all kidding aside, I feel so blessed to live in a home and neighborhood that we don't want to leave, even if we have all the money in the world.



Last night I did three miles on the treadmill. I set it on random hills with a 5% max and just went with it.  It amazes me that three miles is my easy run now.  I think back to the days when I first started, when I was happy to do 1.5 miles in a run.  On Sunday I will beat my personal distance record.  Four miles is the longest distance I have ever run at one time.  It's not going to be easy, and it definitely won't be fast, but that's OK.  I'm going to finish.  And in October I will complete a half marathon.  13.1 miles.
