Red Pencil Diaries

Dave travels a lot for work these days. I am home a lot with the kids by myself. So after a week of playing "single mom," Dave and I went to Red River Gorge sans kiddos with friends. We had a wonderful cabin with a nice fire pit area and hot tub. We hiked, rode the skylift up to Natural Bridge, grilled out awesome food, had a delicious home-cooked breakfast. Such a relaxing, much needed weekend. This week, back to the grind. This weekend is going well... but my mind keeps drifting back to that nice, quiet, cabin in the woods.

Last weekend, Dave and I both walked/ran the Derby Mini Marathon. I felt determined for many weeks, but the night before the race, I was terrified. Even though I had been training off and on for months, I wasn't sure if I could make it! But I did finish. It wasn't a great finishing time, but my goal was to just make it across that finish line and get my medal. Now next year, I need to improve my time! Anyone going to join me?
