Wow, weekends seem to fly by.
Holding with my short-term marathon plan, I scheduled a 6 miler this Saturday. I grabbed Big G (my Garmin) and hit the road. I knew I was slower than I was last year, but didn't realize HOW slow. Mile 1 was 8:59. WTH? Then I got to mile 2 and looked at my watch to realize that it said 1.2 miles. I guess it stopped right after mile 1. Then I remembered that I haven't used (or charged) my Garmin since my last race - Feb 4th. ha ha. Luckily I've run this path for 3 years now, so I know that 3 mile turn around. I have to say that I was disappointed with my slowness and felt like I needed to stop for water more, but I finished it and felt fine right when I stopped. Next weekend I'll bump it up to 7 or 8.
I met with my painter on Sat and they already started scraping & texturing my ceilings! They should finish all the painting by middle of week. Then I need to get the flooring guys in. So many things to think about and coordinate. I just want to get in and do the fun stuff!!!! I spent the rest of my afternoon at Home Depot and think I found my new home away from home. **Swoon**
Spent Mother's Day with my family - got to hang with my adorable nieces. My snuggle bunny youngest niece is in this mommy-only phase. So I didn't get all the lovin' that she used to give me. And the 3 yr old only gives love with presents. My granny was smart and stocked up on the presents.

so exciting about your new place :) cant wait to follow along with marathon training too!
home depot definitely became my home away from home. so many things!
hope you get Big G charged. I think I am going to steal a bit of your training plan - although I am anticipating a finish time closer to your 2007 marathon time than your 2008. I will let you know as soon as my registration is final (just waiting for payday).
How bout some pics of your new diggs?
yes, lowe's and home depot are great weekend destinations for us handy homeowners. i know they get too much of my money.
have fun "nesting" in your new place. that's always my favorite part.
Sounds like a good weekend! Nice job with the 6 miler!
Okay so my fast days are your slow days. You don't have to rub it in:)
Enjoy dressing your nest.
Home Depot and Lowes were where we spent the first 2 years every single weekend when we first bought our condo. At first it was fun, but after awhile, it gets tiresome.
Yes, trips to Home Depot and Lowes, welcome to home ownership! You'll have to post pictures once you get all the painter and flooring completed.
hey at least you can still do the 6! I have been off track so long I am struggling with 3! So exciting aobut the new place...always so much fun to decorate!
Nice run! I bet you'll find your speed comes back quickly.
Good luck with all the house stuff. :) How fun!
Sounds like a perfect weekend, but yes, how 'bout some home pic's!!!
can't wait to see pics of the decked out POM pad!
sorry your run was less than stellar. knowing you, you'll be tearing up the pavement in no time!
Sounds like a fun Mother's day!
And I so know what you mean about Home Depot being a second home. When we first bought our new home in FL, we might as well have had a second mortgage there too ...
