101.1
I have run 101.1 miles this month. I will consider it an accomplishment. One that i will hopefully repeat in October...
What else has happened? Friday night we watched the debates and then a bunch of people came over and we drank copiously. We also enjoyed our finally furnished game/sitting room. It's nice...
Saturday, we got up in time to go to the Chilli Cook-off at Stone Mountain. Mmmm... Chilli... So delicious and we got crazy full, but whatever...
Sunday, k hiked and i ran and then we had Carol and Steve over for late brunch thing and ate a ridiculous amount of monkey bread. And k made a tasty frittata. Otherwise, we've mostly been cleaning in anticipation of Mom visiting. Woo, cleaning!
