I almost ran

On my way home last night, I decided to go for a run. Then I got out of the car in the garage and was reminded how bad my heel hurts.

Instead, I did this:
Which ended up looking like this:
TADA!!!!

That is tomato, red bell pepper, sweet basil, and jalapeno pepper. The far right is my compost dump. I figure if I keep it in the same place I might remember to use it.

I waited until yesterday because our weather has been so spotty. ...and then I woke up today to a yard full of frost. Awesome. I will not pray for the plants to survive, but I will have faith that they will and will prepare for the harvest.

While 'gardening' I found this:

A little snake. We seem to have a family of them in our yard. This is the 2nd snake I've killed in as many weeks. I saw the big snake holes in the dirt. I am a little nervous as to the size of the next one I will find....

Happy Khaki Thursday. I hope you find time to relax!
Not sure why my feet look so weird. Why am I curling them up in my shoes? Meh.
Do you have a little (or big) garden?
Are you afraid of snakes ssssssssss? heehee

    I have a beet root rooting (is that right?) in my kitchen window, but nothing in the ground yet. I think I'm way behind...

    I'd like to have a pet snake but hubs and Princess would cry, so I don't.

That Dam 5k

I found out yesterday that there is a 5k coming up in my area. The 'That Dam Lake Texoma 5k" is on 11/17. I feel like physically I am prepared for it, but gear-ly I am not. I still haven't bit it and bought new shoes. I won't need special shorts, shirts, socks, belts, sleeves, hats, etc. as a 5k doesn't require much fanciness. I need shoes, but first, I need the funds. Le sigh. This isn't a cry out for money, it's more like a cry out for someone to convince me to spend my money. I haven't spent that much on a pair of shoes in years. I became a frugal fanatic and push all belongings to the limit. Help! Last night I was back on the 'mill. Not defeated quite as early, but about 1.7 miles in I hit my wall. How silly! I pushed pushed pushed, and made it to 3.1 in just under 39 mins. S       L        O      W. I need to stop being so hard on myself, but if I'm not, how will I get better?! When I got home I started dinner. In a pinch I always make

Race Recap

Image
You may have seen my mini post on Saturday about my dismal race. I do hate being negative, but I was really unhappy with my performance. The breathing problems, the stumbling, the walking, the dramatics....I was a total mess. Today I want to show you all the awesome stuff leading up to the race! Muscle time!!! Making shirts for the race. Team 'Run Free: peace.love.run' in the house! Gear ready for the race. Nike tennis skirt (bad choice by the way. Rides all up in the wrong places), team shirt (Wal-mart), Brooks Ravenna 4.  (not pictured, SPI-belt)  We were so ready to go!! All smiles. M ran the race pushing her daughter, and not in a little jogging stroller, but in the fully enclosed bike trailer/stroller! And she beat me! Grrr. She was awesome! She said she was a little stoked that she beat me too. She should be. We aren't racing each other, but a W is a W. Made a shirt for her little girl. This is the back. Awwww.  Barking dogs afterwar

5k,ka,ka,kaput....

Today i gave an effort. Not good. Not bad. Just, an. I'm pretty sure I've developed adult asthma based on the near black-out 50yd before the finish line. I PR'd but that isn't saying much: still +35min. Yeowza. I'm not a marathoner, yet. I don't compete with others, only myself. I let God carry me. I feel I'm doing all the right things, I'm just not there yet. That's ok. But disappointing nonetheless. You know. Happy running today. Good luck Ragnar/SoCal girls, and everyone around the globe.
