Finally!!! I think I am back to running. Praise the Lord and a big fat Hallelujah. I didn't think I would ever get here. Ran last weekend. Not very far but I ran. Then I ran on Thursday. I think it ended up being maybe a mile and a half. Then today it was supposed to be raining but I woke up to gorgeous blue skies so I laced up and headed out. I warmed up a little bit and then ran half a mile with a .1 mile walk. I lasted 45 minutes with probably a good 3 miles of actual running. Oh yeah and totally sucking wind. Holy moly I am so out of shape. Brutal, to go from running a marathon, feeling great to 4 months of sad little cardio workouts and now all my conditioning has to start all over. Booo. But YAAAAY I am running!!!! That is really all that matters. The endurance will come back, I know that. SO, yaaay. Wait let me say it again...YYYAAAAAAAYYY!!! I am back. Look forward to more silly running blogs to come. Cause let me tell you my brain does funny things out there on that trail.
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...
