Finally….

I’ve been MIA from my own blog for quite a while now due to a slew of home improvement projects, increased mileage in the marathon training plan, and a crazy work schedule.

We managed to successfully (somewhat) tile the bathroom floors a few weeks ago. Not our best results ever with a home improvement project, but at least it’s better than the linoleum. We’ve also sanded down the cabinets, stained them a new, darker color, and managed to give both of our bathrooms a major overhaul in the process. Between that and our landscaping melodramas in the backyard, we’ve dropped a lot of money on home projects in the last 2 monhs. Our final projec will be the deck renovation and possible installation of a patio. After that, I plan to just sit back and enjoy the new look of our home until next summer.

I’ve started running in the mornings rather than evenings in the interest of actually sticking to a running schedule. So far, I’ve done quite well (hope that line doesn’t jinx me). I’ve been getting up at 6 am and getting my miles in a minimum of every other day. I’ve managed to stick to it for 2 weeks… 21 days to make a habit, right? One more week and I should be home free.
