Squish.

Yesterday I ran 13.1 miles in the pouring rain. Despite the elements, and squishy toes beyond Mile 4, I finished in 2 hours which is my personal best. Can I say it was fun? Running is a mental game as much as a physical one and there were a couple of times that I asked myself (especially since water was in one ear so I could only hear through one side of my ipod), 'why am I doing this? No, really, why AM I doing this'.

Running is my little addiction these days. Maybe it began because over the last 8 years that we've been in Memphis I have gotten up in the early hours before work to take Ike for a walk. Rain, snow or sunshine Ike wanted to go out. If he heard the alarm go off then I could hear his tail start wagging from across the house. My challenge yesterday was for Ike because rain, snow or sunshine he would enjoy our walks, so I tried to enjoy the run.

Seeing Chris at the Finish Line. One of the few fans -- thank you Chris Nick! And a shout out to the Anthony family for the High Fives at Mile 11! I needed that pick-me-up!

Dinner at The House in LR with Big G:


Mmmm...Black Bean Nachos!

What's for lunch?

Color Week was cut short because Caroline got to go to Ma's house! Lots of great pictures to post from our fun trip to Beebe but first I have to find time to download them. In the meantime I wanted to tout on my new favorite thing to do at lunch: YOGA! Points to Kendi for getting in all the photos for the March issue of the Memphis Downtower.

Breakfast on red/rojo day.

Good Morning on black/negro day!

Color Week Continues

And it's a Purple kind of day.

Don't red and blue and green and yellow make a purple shirt?

Getting a daily picture during Color Week has been so much harder than I thought. Maybe because I am way less interesting to her in the mornings compared to her duties of putting her babies in Time-Out.

Thursday: White/Blanco

She melted our heart with this one by saying out of the blue, "I love you Daddy".

Friday: Brown/Cafe

TGIF!
