::my first ever attempt at growing tomatoes. i did some research to see which ones would grow best in a container; let's hope i get at least one.

things are coming along on the house front. here's the kitchen light that was installed this weekend. i got a great deal on e*bay! in the background is our living room (more on that to come this week). the olive greenish paint color on that wall is slowly growing on me.

finally starting to organize my books.

::my friend sherri and i at the start of the 20k. it was pouring rain for the first hour of the race. it actually would have felt good, if it wasn't for the sloshing shoes and wet clothes.
sherri and i went our separate ways at the start. i was feeling really good for the first 6 miles, which surprised me because i didn't train at all. somewhere around mile 7, the reality of not training hit pretty hard. i felt pretty miserable for the remaining 5.4 miles. even when i finally saw the finish line, i really had nothing more to give. i finished almost 30 minutes slower than i did last year! wow! i guess there really is something to that training thing. i don't think i will do a long race again without it.
it ended up being a great day overall, and i am just so thankful i am able to run!!

a great reminder

love love this song!

::our summer list. this will help us be a little more intentional with our days, and hopefully we will be able to get to all or most of these.

by the way, i decided to do the 20k. i'm just going to go and have a good time.

it was a busy weekend! we painted two bedrooms this weekend. i'm so happy to have my bedroom almost organized again. we ended up choosing a different paint color - it's gray, but looks like a blue-gray at times. i love the way it turned out!

here's the before: it was a dark burgundy...took 3 coats to cover it up.
after: (i need to find my other lens, so i can take a better picture of this room)

ps - the 20k is this saturday. i have only run once in the last two weeks. should i still try to run? (i think it's supposed to rain) or, do i just skip it?
