Good news! Iām not homeless! Our apartment management people finally got back to us and said we could stay if we signed a lease for at least six months. We wanted to go month to month, like they originally offered, but that was off the table.
So, we signed the lease to avoid the headache of moving. If we have to break it before the 6 months is up we will face a very very costly penalty though. That is a very big possibility, but there was no avoiding it š
Run: I woke up bright and early to knock-out 4 miles. I have still not figured out how to juggle my running and KB schedule and have ran 3 days in a row now. I wanted to keep it to only two days of consecutive running, but that doesnāt work out with KB. What to do,what to doā¦
Once I got back I made Breakfast. Ezekiel muffin with almond butter and banana on one side and ICBNB (I Canāt Believe Itās Not Butter) with stevia and cinnamon on the other. I ate the rest of the naner with AB on the side. 
I had some cantaloupe on the side too!
And since I was cold, I drank hot coffee. I am not the biggest fan of hot coffee, but Iām even less of a fan of being cold.
Yes, that damn Christmas tree is still in the background. Since weāre not moving this month like we originally thought should I take it down now? #thisiswhycleanhouseneedstovisitme
Ben looks so nice and fancy compared to meā¦but donāt ask me why he puffed out his chest like a bird in mating season.
I think I may run a local Half Marathon on April 25th. Iām scared because the course is super hilly (which I hate) and my time off because of my knee really set me back to square 2 (at least itās not square 1).
But ā I do want to run a race in Maryland while Iām here and this one is only a few miles from my house. I feel like I should do it and just have fun with it. So, itās settled!
2010 Race Calendar:
April 25th ā Half Marathon
May ā TBA
June ā TBA
July ā TBA
Aug ā TBA
Sept ā TBA
Oct ā Long Beach Marathon
Okay, so it still needs a lot of work, but at least Iām trying! I would love to do the SF half in July, but donāt think thatās going to happen as life is still pretty chaotic.
Me and my wife have been taking sweetleaf for a while now after reading about it at this site and think its great! Now i can’t drink my tea without it! i love the fact that its can be used in toothpaste to prevent cavities and gum disease too
hooray for not being homeless!
i think this 1/2 sounds great. you rarely get the opportunity to run a cool race so close to your home. try to be more layed back about it if you can.
Ben looks like he has lost weight. Is he trying to do that or did it just happen?
My dad is doing the LB marathon too! I want to look into doing it too. Only if I could run/walk it. I’m still not sure I will have that much endurance by October.

LOL we still have a mini tree up in our house too! It’s my roommates, and she’s one of the messiest people ever so she never packed it up. And now it’s just a joke.
Glad you’re not homeless and out on the streets! š
Whew, what a relief knowing that you’re not going to be homeless. Breaking a lease might be painful, but moving is more painful. In my opinion, anyway.
You should definitely do the hilly half marathon because after that race all other races will seem so easy.
Congrats on the lease agreement. Moving is definitely such a headache so having more time to prepare is a good thing.
I know I have asked you this before, but what part of MD are you living in? I use to live in Towson and still visit at least once a month.
I would love to try and meet sometime! š
I’m glad you have a home!
YAY! Not homeless is good.
Oh gosh, I hate apartment lease situations like that. I have had to break a lease twice in my life and it was a huge expensive mess. well the first one was just expensive, the second was a mess and expensive. Good luck with your situation. I hope that it goes as perfect as possible for you!
Oh nice new header š
Glad you’re not homeless. What time do you get up in the mornings? I’m an afternoon/evening runner and I’d just love to get up early, but can’t seem to muster up the energy in the AM.
2 weeks ago I ran 5 days in a row. Big mistake!! I know how hard it is to break it up especially if you like running so much.
I know nothing about the course, but I’m running the Maryland Half Marathon on May 23. I run tons of 5Ks in MD over the summer (http://mdrrca.org/index.php/2010-wdf-series-schedule — though not all of them!), and am also doing the Baltimore 10 Miler in June. Surely you can fill up your race schedule!
I do know what Columbia is like having done Iron Girl twice … that’s gonna be a tough race. I’d do it, though, if I wasn’t on vacation!
hahaha “like a bird in mating season.” Very good description.
If you don’t feel up to the half, theres a 10k that day in Rockville. Pike’s Peek – http://www.pikespeek10k.com/
I am running it for the first time, but I heard its a PR course with lots of downhills!
I am totally looking into that because this course is HILLY^10
I just realized I have the same green plate/bowl set as you and love them! I go to Loyola in Baltimore and a few of my friends are running the same 1/2 on the 25th and are super excited for it š
Why he puffed out his chest like a bird in mating season… Baby on the brain? Maybe he’s ready!
Ha! Don’t get him started on that…
Yay for not being homeless!
Glad you’re not homeless, but that sucks they couldn’t work out the month-t0-month with you. Apartment buildings around here are so into money.
Which 1/2 is that on the 25th?
It’s the tri-columbia half! Do it do it!
