I wonder if it's ever safe to write while "in the moment"?
My girls spent the weekend with my mom. Thanks mom! They did all kinds of grandma stuff, they made freezer jam and syrup. They made four kinds of cookies, and they watched movies til their eyes burned (not really).
They really had a lot of fun, but when it's time to come home, I have to detox them from being so spoiled. I'm sure it's that they're over tired and they want the continuous attention that grandma can give for a weekend, but I can't even for a day. It's only 9am and I've already broken up 3 arguments. At least I know things will be semi back to normal by the end of the week! (the count of arguments is now up to 5 since I started writing)
This morning I had a nice quiet run by myself. It's funny how when I go alone I can talk myself into running farther or faster. This morning I had lots of ramblings running through my mind. That's the part I don't like. I try turning up the music louder, but my brain just thinks louder. I'm still so thrill that I'm running. Every time I think back to January when I really started, I'm amazed at what the body can do. Never in my life would I have thought that at 31 I would finally be a runner. I hope this lasts forever. I love seeing all the runners in the morning and wondering what their story is. I love seeing the retiree's out running and hoping that's me at 75.
This week brings lots of adventures. My nephew is in town, our cousin Michelle is coming on Thursday for the weekend, and the Mayo's are here! They are staying until the endish of July. We are all waiting in anticipation for our turn to spend time with them since we have to share them with their family.
***One last item of business~ we are setting up our ice rink in our front yard this week, in celebration of 4th of July! We welcome all to come and try it out for free!! I'm just hoping/seeking/asking that anyone who's available will come help us set it up on Wednesday around 6pm. I'm sure after it's set up we will be trying it out then too!

Definatly take pictures of the rink!! How do you even go about doing that??? Sooo cool!! How does it stay frozen?? I'm sooo jealous yu CAN run! I crave it but my knees won't allow it!
You know that you are my inspiration...I don't know if I will ever be able to say that I have run 87 miles in a year....let alone in a month!....right now I'm excited to mostly make it through 2.5 without having to walk half way through! You are a rock star!
I think you managed just fine writing "in the moment".
I'm so jealous about your running! I am looking forward to just walking at this point...
And the ice rink sounds like a ton of fun. Don't think we'll make it, but have a blast!
An ice rink in July? I have got to see this! What a cool mom you are!
What the runner you are turning into! I will never be one (at least I don't think so). I think it's great you found something you love to do! We'll try to make it for skating!
I totally get why you love to run. I hate to run but I LOVE the time and mental relaxation I get... As I'm writing this I'm thinking of going because I haven't and at the moment, it's pretty quiet at my house...
