I ran today people, 3 miles! After almost 4 months of no running, my fat A finally did it! The miles tracker is back on!!
Total of 46/142 miles expected (for my 1 mile/day average).
With 223 days and 319 miles left to run in 2009, in order to make my year starting goal I will need to run 1.5 miles per day to meet my goal. Or, 3 miles every other day. OR...well, let's face it...I won't be running more than 3 miles at any given time. Especially in the summer hizeat of the dirty Souf.
Kirby ran with me too today.
She sweat her tongue off. That's my dogg!

Gardens and Honeybees
So it's been a long time coming, but we finally got started on our food-growing endeavor. We built some raised planters in the yard (we have crap for drainage), complete with pop-up irrigation for each box. There are four 4'x4' boxes and one 2.5' sided hex. We've planted a bunch of tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, strawberries (with more on the way), squash, mint, sage, basil, cilantro, and thyme. Hopefully we get at least some food out of it before the bugs, birds, and K-dog eat it all. Jaime also put in some coo Kangaroo Paw plants. I don't have a good pic of them at the moment, so hopefully we will soon.
In other news, upon returning home this afternoon, I was greeted in my living room by about 20 or 30 honeybees, which was great! They were getting into our house through our light fixture in the living room (pictured, post bee-fix 2009; note the impressive duct tape work). Never had any bees in our house besides the ones & twos that fly in through o
pen doors, but now we can hear them in our ceiling. It's especially creepy when they get agitated every now an then and you can really hear the hive humming away. Really weird. So we called a beekeeper guy who's going to come out tomorrow and see what it would take to remove them. But I'm pretty sure we'll be hacking into our ceiling and following up with some reconstruction. Awesome.
