Cate & Mom

I updated my reading list on the lower right hand corner of the site. You can tell that it is summer by the titles I’ve added. I have no beach time planned in July, but you’d never know it from the books I picked.

Remember last winter when I did the 100 mile challenge? Well, I have identified a trend and my mid-life quest continues. On the eve of my 38th birthday, I completed a high ropes course without crying, and two weekends ago, I managed to not puke during a 90 minute hot yoga flow class in Boston. The next day, I jumped at the opportunity to hoist the main sail on a schooner trip through Gloucester harbor.

My next challenge is a bit less exciting, but just as demanding. I’m doing the Cool Running Couch to 5k plan - as delivered through this amazing podcast. I have one more run tonight to be through week one, and then will start week 2 tomorrow.

Unfortunately, my dear, protective husband has forbidden me from undertaking my next challenge till the kids graduate from college, but I guess that means I have 15 years to prepare to learn how to surf.

Happy Independence Day Everyone!
