New name, same game

It’s been a crazy few months since December. But now, I’m back online with one house sold, another house purchased we have months of looking at houses, cleaning houses and fixing up houses behind us. And, we’re finally getting settled in.

The name of the blog has changed, but the game is the same. This will be running stories, fitness tips I find and probably a bit more house-fixing-up stuff now that our time is getting taken up by projects.

Some quick catch-ups since the last blog post:

– The running streak was JUST NEARLY completed! I successfully ran at least on mile a day from Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day, with the one day exception being on December 26th, a blizzard, and the day that the city (including my gyms) shut down. Reason #1 I need a treadmill, but that’s a post for another day.

– Hubs and I bought a new house, our first together, and ended up moving from SoBro to the ‘burbs. We didn’t expect to end up here, but we’re walking distance from a small, quaint downtown which happens to feature our favorite FroYo place. The neighborhood is perfect, the neighbors are all very nice and we’re settling in to our new digs and enjoying the peace and quiet in our new place.

– Work is busy as ever, but Jerrod and I have a little vacation planned soon so we’re looking forward to getting away and relaxing for a few days.

– Jada is enjoying her new space and plethora of windows to sit in. She loves the screened in porch at the new place and is a very cranky cat when we don’t let her out there. She also developed quite the set of cahones the other night as I had a chef salad sitting out on the counter which she apparently thought was hers.  Like a squirrel in the park hoarding for winter, she hopped right up on the counter and started collecting piles of ham to bring down to the floor. She was caught red-pawed and I’d like to say she learned her lesson… but I caught her on the counter again 30 minutes later. She owes me $6 for that salad that would have fed me for 3 days…

– On the running front I’ve kept up my race-a-month schedule and I am currently training for the Indianapolis Half Marathon in October. It’s going to be a rough stretch to get in shape, but I’m hoping I’m up to the challenge!

The rest of life is business as usual. Not enough time in the day, not enough days in the week, but we’re moving full speed ahead with all of our projects and plans!
