So, we have an accepted offer. Provided nothing crazy happens with our loan or the inspections, we'll have a house, all of our very own, on February 13th (just in time for Valentine's....I don't know that we'll ever beat that in terms of gift-age!).
Did lots of signing, stressing, researching (not in any particular order...mostly just a big mish-mash of all of them!). I don't think that I've been this relieved about anything since I finished sewing costumes about 15 minutes before the show at Chamizal (remember, AL, remember??).
*whew*

Treadmills...
....are punishment for people who know what ACTUAL running feels like.
We've been staying with my Dad for the moving/house shopping interval (I'm really grateful for them), and they have a treadmill. I tried it out today. It is NOT a good thing.
Still, when J woke up early this morning and I lost my "get out alone" chance, I guess that this is better than nothing.

Running bug
I think I've caught it. Now that I finally got back to it, I REALLY don't want to give it up....Ever....Again.
There's a race in Louisville KY in February that I've got my eye on. We'll see if I work up the courage to do it.
I LOVE running. I keep wondering why I ever took a hiatus....and then the reality of pregnancy and postpartum jumps into my mind. It will be interesting to see how I handle it next time around. Hopefully no more 5-year gaps!
I've been reading about women and ultramarathoning. Women have a better chance of keeping up with men in longer races (the longer the race, the narrower the pace gap gets). And older women often beat younger women. This gives me SO MUCH HOPE in terms of being able to keep doing this, and do it better than I do now once I can devote more energy to it (ie, when my kids are older, so the long runs early in the morning won't make me a bad mom because the kids are grown up and on to other things).
I really think that this could be appealing to me for a number of reasons. My first basis is just how much I loved Tecumseh two weeks ago. It was breathtakingly beautiful to be out in the woods hearing the wind and the snow falling. And the distance and mental coping that the hills required were such a fun game for me. The idea of running races all over the place, meeting lots of people and swapping stories, jokes, and battle scars....it just all seems like a whole lot of fun.
