running + renovating = insanity

"Running is a lot like life. Only 10 percent of it is exciting.
90 percent of it is slog and drudge." Dave Bedford


Sorta like home renovations! It's a lot of fun talking about it...
picking tile...paint...granite...stain...imagining how beautiful it's going to be when it's done...
not to mention the new furniture!

Then there's the work.
Removing the carpet, linoluem, baseboards, outlet covers, light fixtures...

Then there's the work.
Packing up the entire living room and (ah!) kitchen...except my blender of course...
and by the way...where did all this shit come from???

Then there's the work.
Sanding, floor scraping, filling holes (damn, who put all these holes in the WALLS?! I know how my dad felt now! ERRRR!) and basically being my husband's "helper" aka fetching him everything he needs, when he needs it...including being the beer bitch...fun!

Renovating is like training for a marathon.
It's rough and tough and involves a lot of grunt work.
And though the end isn't near yet, I know it will ALL be worth it.

the light is there...dim...but there...

:) Have a wonderful day! :)

4 miles of hills and sanding tonight...yippEEEE!
