It has been a very productive past couple of months around here. Life continues to remind me that the less TV and Movies I watch the happier I am. We continue to get odds and ends done around the house and are getting ready to list the house for sale. We would rather never leave our home that we built but there are much more important things than our home. Money is tight and if our house sells we can get the equity out of it and get into another mortgage much cheaper. Our hope is for Janet to be at home with the kids. It would be fun to have money left over for important things like vacations and such too. Life is only going to get more expensive as we go. Our desire is to be good stewards of our money and that is not happening.
Training is back in gear now. I am running when I can and swimming once or twice a week. It has felt so good to be back training again. Sunday was my first winter run in the rain before it got crazy cold. It was good to do it because it will make all my other runs this winter feel easy. Today is Tues and I got out before Janet and the kids got home. It was zero degrees but little wind and the snow was falling. You can dress for the cold, but not the wind, and there is nothing better than running in a light snow. It is so peaceful and quiet. Traction is actually better and soft. My soul was satisfied with today's run, what a blessing. Now my only christmas wish is a bike trainer so I can be well rounded coming into the training season. I want to be able to work on speed and endurance this year and if I am in shape coming into it I will be able to do that.
The races that I will for sure be doing are: May 16- Maple Grove half marathon. June 7-the Buffalo Olympic Tri. June 27-pacific crest Oregon half iron(tnt). July 18-lifetime Olympic (tnt).
Aug 9-Green lake sprint.
We have been so blessed as a family with so much. We look forward to a great Christmas season with family and friends. Then our little girl Bijou turns 2 new years day. What a great time of year.
God bless and have a Blessed Christmas Season.
