Once again I'm working the midnight to 4am shift and since its been a few weeks since I've had it, I've actually missed it a bit. Only a bit. I do like my sleep a lot more.
I've got the Taco a City Half Marathon coming up Sunday, been dreading it but realize it's coming no matter what. I looked at the calendar a couple days ago and found out its THIS WEEKEND, not another week away. Surprised me! Tomorrow is packet pickup and the race starts at 8am.
My half PR is 2:24 and for that course it's 2:28 so I hope to come in close to that time. I guess I should figure out my Garmin and set it up so I know my pace and plan on how fast I should go. Also, do I wear my old Browne down shoes or my brand new ones? Tough decision. I know, nothing new in race day.
I'm thinking that forn the Black Diamond half ironman race I might make it a duathlon and skip the swim. Not a final decision but if I don't have a wetsuit that fits then I won't be spending a lot of time in the lake. I'm ok with not swimming, I'd like to start out warm and dry for once.
Horse news: Sunshowers injury is healing so well, it's smaller than my little finger now.
She and Joey have both had a LOT of bug bites on them so I've been spraying them more. Wifi lets me do it, the others are turds but once I'm doing it every day they will come around. I can't believe the difference in the amounts of bugs from the old farm to the new one. Ugh, billions here.
The pigs are nearing slaughter weight, we have a date about 10 days from now. I wouldn't mind getting two more but Lan is dead set against it. He doesn't like to think about killing pets. I, on the Other hand, have made a huge effort to not make them in to pets. We shall see how the bacon tastes.
The azaleas are blooming and the front yard smells amazing. Next year they will be even more beautiful because I trimmed them quite a bit last year. This weekend I'll be digging up two of e regular small bushes and replacing them with a couple from alongside the fence. The beautiful gold one will look fabulous beside the porch. I'd like to replace the Hydrangea too, it just doesn't go well there but it IS big and oh so pretty.
I cleared out a lot of the blue bells and iris from the triangle garden, gave away a bush with small yellow flowers and two roses. I transplanted some of the iris and gave a million bluebells to friends. They will flourish and grow like crazy as long as they plant them. I left two roses and an azalea in the garden and they will be very pretty next year too, with all the new room to spread out.last year there was one single iris bloom,Mathis year there are about 6 and I hope to have a lot more next year. I need to dig them up and spread out the bulbs, I left a lot intact so the flowers wouldn't be messed up.
