Outdoors

For all of our married life John and I have had, frankly, pretty crappy outdoor furniture.  Last summer we actually made-do by hauling our dining room chairs outside to sit on our deck.  This year we took a deep breath and ordered some nice patio furniture.

It has already paid for itself....


Love this!


This weekend I ran the Drake Relays Half Marathon with a group of my running friends.  We followed up the race with brunch at Americana and a little shopping at Lululemon.  An awesome day.  I was struck so much by the fact that I probably wouldn't know these great ladies without running, but here they are, an important part of my life.

The weather conditions for today's race were terrible. Thunderstorms - the race was delayed an hour - it was windy and wet. I was talking to my running coach about how worried I was about those conditions - a situation she dismissed with a simple, "Running is an outdoor sport."  Indeed it is. Made better by knowing these awesome people (and several others not pictured).
