A New Summer Wardrobe

I'm so excited!!  I have a whole new (?) summer wardrobe. 

In the mornings I change from my pajamas to one of my many new outfits.

Some of them really are very old but they are new to me this summer.

Yap, I've started running again.  No summer school and no morning pharmacy hours so guess what I do when I get out of bed.

I get dressed in one of my "not really so" new outfits and I go running! 

It's so fun.  Some days I wear this shirt and I think of Will running that amazing 100 miles adventure race.

Some days I wear this and think of Gracie, training for her first marathon.

Some days I wear this and think of Dad :) I'm not telling what I think, but it's worth remembering.

Or I wear this shirt and remember running with Mary O'Leary down the hill into town.

I think I was only 42 years old then!!

I don't ever wear this because with long sheeves, it's just too hot although I do see it in my drawer and think of all those who faced the fridget cold with me that Thanksgiving morning, the constant compansionship of Kristi at my side and the finish line cheering team getting me across that silly line will always be fond memories. 

Maybe if I ever get to run during the winter I'll wear this shirt then. 

I might even wear one of these shirts this coming week.


And for sure I'll wear these same shoes!  Yap, they're the oldest, but with some good silver duck tape and a little nail glue now and then, they still keep me going.

Regardless of what I choose to wear, I choose to go running. Ok, so the truth is~

I only running about 2.5 miles and I only go out 3-4 days a week, but that's a start.

It takes me about 30 minutes every time. I wish I could say I'm getting faster however, some days, I just barely make it home.

But I love it!!!               I really love it!!!

Besides, this is just one of the ways I want to be more like my children!

Oh dear mom, you should visit me at work and I can help you get a good pair of shoes to run in. Makes it a little more enjoyable.
