Bring it home...

Why can't we bring the beach home with us?  We'll start with the most important...

We'll hire a dumptruck for the sand someday...

Outer Beauty

Every single time I return home from Hilton Head Island, I have so many ideas for my yard.  I want to go straight to the local nursery and drop a boatload of money.  But we are streamlining our spending in order to retire soon, so that isn't going to happen.

However, I did buy some pretty affordable annuals for shade and sun at our local chain hardware store to pretty up the yard a bit.  My husband and I, with our little helper, set out to make a nice atmosphere on our deck, patio and yard.  We even spruced up the front porch!  And I finally planted my herb garden, which Im hoping will thrive.  It is still a little chilly here today.

We love spring and summer and usually spend most of our time outside.  We needed some color!  I do mostly container gardening since I have a black thumb.  Hope you enjoy!  Cant wait for my Asian Lillies to bloom!

Happy May!

Vacation Week

I was in Hilton Head Island with my sweet family this past week. We made some great memories with our three wonderful boys.

I did however manage to get some miles in and some serious bootcamp work.  The bootcamp work happened on the beach and it was exhilarating.  I had some workout partners and a very cute little lifeguard as company so it was fabulous.

I did eat my weight in crab legs and imbibe in some tasty libations all week so I will be getting right back to my training (and more) on Monday.  Since I have been following this semi-Vegan diet my body has been running like a fine tuned machine.  One night, I ingested fried chicken, mac and cheese and buttered biscuits for dinner; my body shut down and suffered.  It was really straining itself to digest that meal and I felt awful.  However, I'm back to my healthy lifestyle.

Hope you all had a great week.  I'll resume my weekly posts about my training and body results next weekend.  I didn't find it fair to post anything after that lavish vacation....

Happy Running!

VBR Photography

Im trying to get used to my big girl camera.  I am by no means a photographer, but I love taking pictures of everything.  I am reading a ton of books on techniques and thought I would just take some shots in my yard.  These are from the past year.  I also experimented with some good ole Picasa!  Enjoy.

Happy Running, and photographing.

My Little Running Man...

I think he is following in my footsteps.  At least I hope he will love running as much as I do.  He has the build for it.  And he seems to love it while he is three.  Only time will tell...

But looking at these pictures...I think I am raising the next Scott Jurek.  He fell twice.  And picked himself up and kept going.  What a champion!

Happy Running!
