The Side Effects of Endorphins

Last night we were finished and had the house all ready to be photographed and put on the market for tomorrow. We decided to celebrate a little and realized we don’t have any restaurants we love where we currently live. Two that we love were closed on Mondays.

So we drove over to Portland and had vegan chicken wings at a restaurant called Fire on the Mountain. Jenna and I had our first family dinner there before a soccer game many years ago.

The Other Half

I had to be out of the house today, so the house could be photographed. I thought I’d walk for three hours. Sounds like a simple enough plan. I got through about 4 miles of walking and it was a crisp windy day. I only planned on walking because I have a Racquetball game tonight.

After the forth mile I said the hell with it and shifted into it a run. I found these two signs on the ground at about the 8 mile mark.

I wasn’t dressed correctly, because I hurried out of the house because the realtors came early. I had on a cotton hooded sweatshirt and rain was looming. I actually got a Little emotional at 7 miles. I knew I was going to complete a half marathon. I had run many previously but none since my heart attack. The last few miles were without incident.

I ran the entire thing with my Jack Russell terrier. It was her first half marathon. I’m proud of her.

We truly have a night off tonight where we don’t have to do anything. I’m looking forward to that. Oh yeah, I have a Racquetball game. I’ll figure that out and see how these legs are working
