Our Front Garden

Last weekend, we fixed up our garden in front of our house.  I should have taken some "before" pictures, because the difference is considerable.  It is always a risk to plant flowers prior to Mother's Day, since we have had flowers stolen out of our garden and we believe they ended up being someone's gift to their Mom.  Anyway, we decided to risk it again.

*I took these with my iPhone, so they aren't the best quality.  You can do the double clicky thing to make the pictures a bit bigger.

Virtual Run from DC to FL--Update #14

This is another update on my progress doing a virtual run from our home in DC to our new vacation home in Punta Gorda, Fl. It is a distance of about 1,003 miles.  


Today, I ran about 10 miles--from my house, down to the National Mall (past the National Earth Day Concert), down to the Lincoln Memorial, over to Georgetown, across the bridge to Rosslyn, down the Potomac to the 14th Street Bridge, over the bridge to the Jefferson Memorial, back up to the Mall and back home. The total distance is more than 11.5 miles, but I got pooped and walked the last mile and a half. I only count running time.

Total Distance Run This Week: 20 miles

Total Distance Run in 2010: 327.5 miles

Total Run Time: 45 hours 15 minutes

My Virtual Distance to Punta Gorda: 675.5 miles
