Working For It
There comes a time before every race that I know I have to bite the bullet and actually run the full distance of the race. A practice run, really. Even if I know I have accumulated those miles before or I've come just a mile under I still have to physically run that full distance to get my head in the right place. That up there? Bane and me running hard on Monday. Because ready or not my 10 miles loomed large and had to be done even if it sucked up more than half of my morning. Because...

A Little Wine & Design
One of the things I love about my neighborhood is that we hold a lot of events. It can be family-oriented one month, a guys night or in the case of this past weekend a little time with friends, neighbors and new connections brought together by wine and a little bit of painting, which was great as I love wine, and even get it often from sites like qkawine.com. It turned cold earlier that day with the winds whipping around making me forget the idea of running 8 miles and instead focus on being warm and comfortably cute.

Daytripping at National Harbor
Sometimes you just need to get away, even if it is just for a day. My day to day life of working on the blog, with H and our real estate business, taking care of three kids and all that those kiddos entails is no easy feat. Throw in the fact that sometimes I need to sleep, eat and maybe get a little exercise in so I can handle all those above mentioned things and I can be one burned out woman.
