Busy but Happy

I rocked my race on Sunday -- 2 hours, 16 minutes, 37 seconds.  That's about 45 minutes faster than my race back in June!

Stefano got a picture of me right before the finish line:


That expression on my face?  Joy and agony.  My legs were cramping up really badly and I was exhausted, but I knew I was doing great and the finish line was in sight!

In other news...

I'm remembering how much I love fall in Colorado -- the trees are starting to change here, the tallest mountains have a beautiful coat of fresh white snow, and the weather is in the 40s-50s at night and 60s-70s during the day.

On Saturday, Stefano and I finally had time and motivation to do some much-needed shopping.  Came home with a bunch of new work shirts for him (he doesn't have much left that fits him well), a dress for me to wear to a wedding in a month, shoes for me for a wedding in January, new running jackets (it was cold for the race), and we finally got a rug for the living room!


Oh, and I ran and made two batches of soup tonight.  Tired!
