This and that

 I think I mentioned that I started walking a few weeks ago at work.  I am walking the hills I used to run, with the intent to run them again.  (My work is about a mile from my old house, so very easy to walk the same neighborhoods.)  (Do you remember when a mile seemed so far?  I wrote that and thought, no way, it's much closer, but I've walked to my old neighborhood from work, and it's about a mile.)  Anyway, a couple weeks I was only able to get in 1 walk because I took 2 days off, one for a training and one for camping.  Last week was also a 3-day week for me because I came home from camping on Monday and Friday was Juneteenth, a holiday here in the States.  Not everyone celebrates it, but I am happy to work for a company that does.  You can find more about it here. Anyway, 3-day weeks mean they are usually very busy, having to fit 5 days into 3.  However, I did get a walk in on Thursday.

My plan had been to walk my route for a couple weeks and then last week, I was going to make the uphills longer.  However, that didn't happen, so this week longer uphills, with the goal of running at least part of it the following week.

Speaking of these hills . . . the first time I walked the hills (up and down) I saw the route on my Garmin app and it immediately took me to my 1st anniversary of my runstreak.  I had decided to run a pattern that said "365" for 365 days, and I even made it so that it was 3.65 miles.  I was soooooo proud of it.  I even bragged about it on Facebook and Instagram.


Can you see the problem?  🤣🤣🤣 It took a friend on Facebook asking me what E65 meant before I realized my mistake.  

Damian has been working (finally) in his area downstairs.  He has his room walls done, although, he's not super happy with it. We are sorta waiting on the 4th of July sales to see if the flooring he wants goes on sale.  It is quite pricey, so a sale would be really nice.  We know that refrigerators are going on sale, and it might just be cheaper to buy it all at once.  

He did start on Asher's room, and is being more intentional with the walls, leveling and all that better.  We can't really afford him to take out the stuff he's done in his room, and redo it, so I think he's stuck with it.

  1. Well, I for one, am very impressed by your E65 run haha. And the 365 one, with the stylised backwards 3 ;-)

    Great work getting it done! And love the goals.

    Hope the remaining walls went well!
