Half-Full

My house, that is.

This past weekend, we moved James down to Athens, Georgia to start his new job. Sadly, it was such a whirlwind, we didn't get to enjoy the beautiful sunny fall weather. The fall color was beautiful and the weather was so perfectly lovely - at least the runners of the 3rd Annual "AthHalf" Athens half marathon got to enjoy it on Sunday morning! I know James is looking forward to running it next year, after appropriate acclimating to the hills of Georgia.

My brain, on the other hand, is very full - of thoughts and plans; lists and agendas; hopes and fears.

My quads were begging for a work-the-kinks out run after the weekend's heavy lifting, so I laced up after hearing how James's first day went (superbly) to beat the twilight.

It was only three and a half miles, but it's the first one in an while that I've done in the rapidly fading half-light of a clear crisp day. Each passing autumn twilight is especially poignant, as they come earlier and earlier and seem to grow shorter and shorter.


With only three weeks left to go until Richmond, I am unsure of how close I'm going to get to my goal, but I feel pretty confident that I'm going to PR.

The big 1-0 is going to be a doozie.
