Summer 2009
My Summer
...was bracketed by vacations. We saw the ageless landscapes of the Southwest in June: the dry, dry, desserts, the deep, deep, chasms of the Grand Canyon, the solid red and orange rocks of Bryce and Zion, and the heat and craziness of Las Vegas with Jim and Jill. In August Matthew and I visited family and friends in Kenosha. My parents are doing great but are getting old. We discussed where to put the washer and dryer on the 1st floor so my mom won't have to negotiate the stairs. We looked at what may need to be fixed for them to sell their house and buy a condo. I attended my 30th High School Reunion. Matthew spent cherished time with his cousins, where sleepovers and a bowling outing were highlights for him. Summer began with a closing: our real estate endeavor at 264 Bishops Glen occurred on the first day of scool vacation. Renovating the interior became my part-time job in between outings. It was the summer of three trips to Six Flags, Lanyard camp at Teresa's and a memorable outing to Washington DC. It was the Summer of my new laundry room, which I love for its color, clean look and modern machinery, but mostly for the accomplishment of doing it myself. It started with an uncertain future jobwise, and ended with overflowing bounty.
What a great Summer!

Running to catch up
Well, I've fallen behind on my mileage log but I haven't stopped running. I have gone every other day save one skpped day since the last entry, and run a total of 204 minutes all told. That gives me an additional 17 miles. Horray for me!
The most memorable run was on Mothers' Day. I went with Matthew on his bike and his friend Ziggy on a scooter. We ran/rode to Ziggy's house, about 1.3 miles away. Ziggy almost gave up and stayed there, but at the last minute he decided to leave the scooter and run back with us. Well, he beat me! I'm getting a rematch in the Fall! I suspect he'll always be faster though. It was a fun morning.
My next goal is to run every other day and one long run every week (long now is 32 minutes), progressively increasing the long run. It's catching!
New Motto: I used to microwave, now I just eat nuts and berries.
(40 cents to whomever id's that line)

How many times can I begin?
OK, I have been inspired. Let's hope my memory sustains this sensation through at least the next few days so I will continue. Today it was the usual small loop which I have mapped through my neighborhood so many times before. It took me 15:37.35 to run it. I sweated. I am Runner!
