Last night, I watered a beautiful, orange Hibiscus in that spot…darn gopher.

Fridge Love

September 3, 2012 — Leave a comment

I see our fridge every day – open it and probably stand in front of it too…

Today, I noticed the “fridge love” and can say that I appreciate most of the sentiment.

Guess which one is K’s?

Blinds

Let me be clear: I DO NOT like hanging blinds – Venetian, vertical, whatever. Trimming them to length, grrrrr. My wife can attest to this fact.

But, I gritted through replacing the broken verticals in our living room this evening. My “I’ll just reuse the old hanging clips” plan didn’t work; but, with the invaluable help of my wife, they are done!

BOOYAH!

  • Current plan: Honolulu Marathon Training Plan
  • Today’s session:Cross train: Bike ride
  • Comments: Rode 22 miles @ 15.8 mph avg – on my new Felt Z85. I got brave and did the part of my course that I’ve been avoiding: the uphill return.

…your 8 o’clock wake-up call!

Wake up call & text to my wonderful wife while on this morning’s trail run…

Oh, and you just never know what may be around the next corner…


Training Journal – 8/26/12:

  • Current plan: Honolulu Marathon Training Plan
  • Today’s session: 11 miles @ 9:30
  • Comments: I did 11.7 @ 9:52.  Today, I opted for a trail run from our house, up to Alum Rock Park, along the North & South Rim Trails loop, and back home. I’ll chalk the +:22 to the two stops I made: filming the flock of wild turkeys and the wake up call to K.

Do you play any of these? I sometimes use a dirt spot on my windshield as the sight from a 120mm gun from an M1A2 Abrams…he, he.
