Well I signed the recommitment papers on Saturday so it looks like I am really going to try to do this thing called a marathon. As I was running my 10 miles on a cranky knee and foot I realized how very far I still have to go. My marathon is 3 months away. That is a lot of miles still to run. It seems a little daunting right now. I have to keep telling myself it is not all about the end result but about all the miles in between. I need to enjoy this a little more. No I take that back. I am enjoying it I think I just sometimes feel like I should be getting faster. I realized it is so different from a half. It's a marathon, not a sprint and I have to remind myself of what my goals are for this. Finish, stay healthy and have fun. Oh yeah and raise lots of money for Team in Training. Maybe I should get a bracelet that has those words on it.
I have been living in the Rabbit Hole for almost 2 years now. It has become my safe haven from the storm of this city. Don't get me wrong I love this city but it is nice to have a little sanctuary to retreat to when all the hustle and bustle starts to overwhelm. I love sitting at my window every morning to write and watch the parade of neighbors stroll by. I have come to "know" some of them, not personally but just by virtue of seeing them on a regular basis. But that will be another post. This is all about the Rabbit Hole. As I come up on the 2 year mark, I took a look back at where it all started. I remember walking into the apartment with my mom and my broker and falling immediately in love with this little space. I am so thankful we were able to pull off the painstaking process of actually getting the apartment. It has been such a great place to live. And there have been some changes. So here are the before and afters of the last two years. It was so bare and crisp...
