I am 4 weeks away from lacing up my Asics and heading out to run my first ever marathon. There have been days in the past two years that I thought I would never be able to do this. I am so excited that it is almost here. I know it is going to be hard and I know it is going to be painful and I am more than likely going to cry more than once in those 5 hours. But I am so ready. I am so excited. I have decided to be extra nice to this body over the next 4 weeks. I am going to eat healthy, drink tons of water, take out the processed junk from my eating, do 100 abs a day to keep my core strong and roll and stretch these muscles each and every day. I am going to give it the fuel it needs to do this thing. And I think the week before the race I am going to get my toes painted.....purple with green polka dots. I am quite sure that will make me run faster.

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...
