Unwinding tonight in the couch enjoying a glass (or two) of wine from my favorite vineyard (J Vineyard. I would link if I weren't posting from my phone). Busy day today. I worked from an office (hubby's) as I've been trying to get out once a week. Then I ran a couple errands, got home to a screaming kid (he was being scolded - I think he might already be hitting the terrible twos). After "working" with the guy to fix our golf cart, little guy was a mess. Bath, dinner and a little play time. Then bed. Resulting in Mommy relaxing on the couch with her wine.
All this to say, today was one of those days I appreciate my work from home status.
Hope you are having a good week.

JW
I know you all are missing my JW posts so I thought I would share a picture or two of our little guy! He's a walker now!! So much to update and so little time. Hopefully the pictures will tie you over for a bit.
He has strep so we spent Tuesday snuggled on the couch. This was when I was trying to get some work done. He was pretty pitiful but still super cute.
Post bath curls. They were stick straight the next morning.
Big boy at the counter reading mail. This was a couple weeks ago.

Running
I've been doing a lot of running lately, especially since I finally committed to running my first Half Marathon (in 3 weeks). Here are some thoughts/updates:
- running hills is tough - running hills in high humidity, even tougher - BUT by the third run, I conquered the big hill (but I might have walked the next little hill).
- I do most of my running by myself. It's kind of soothing. But not as motivating as having a running partner. I was lucky to have a running partner in the Bahamas (oh yeah, we were on vacation - recap coming). Otherwise there was at least one morning I would not have made it. And she helped push me up the big hill! And I feel like my pace is faster, so that's a bonus.
- My first really long run (8 miles) was this weekend. Hubby needed to run 4.5 to get his 15/week in (Lent) so he went with me. It was a family run. We took turns pushing JW in the stroller. Solid 10 minute miles for the whole run! (And he says he'll do 9 with me this weekend!!)
- Hills are tough - but what's tougher - pushing a 25 pound stroller with a 25 pound kid up those hills.
- Music is key to a good run. I need some new music - any suggestions?
- I got some training advice from my sister - who knew you needed to get some fuel during the big runs. Good thing I signed up for the Brooks Run Happy University and they sent me a welcome packet (I have only run in Brooks Adrenaline for the last 8 years). There were some Chump bites in there. Pretty good, though hard to chew and run. I need to run to Dick's or somewhere and try some other options. But the Blueberry Pomegranate flavor was yummy.
I'm pretty happy with my running over the last few weeks. I haven't set any time goals for the race (the course is pretty hilly). I'd just like to finish my first one. Maybe if I like it enough, I'll set some goals for the next one ;)
