So this is what jogging’s like

Today I decided to do something to justify my low resting heart rate! This was a morning that Kelly and I had to ourselves, as the kids were away on their first friends-house sleepover (my mom rightly pointed out that this sleepover wasn’t their first as they’ve stayed with her and my dad before). We awoke before today’s non-stop rain began, put on our jogging gear, and took the dog with us on a path around the neighborhoods. Though I haven’t done any real running in a year or so, I managed to keep up with Kelly and the dog.

Kelly estimates we made it around the 2.5 mile course in about 25 minutes. There were several pit stops for the dog as well as pauses to chat with friends we saw on the way, so its not a definitive time. Regardless, it sure felt good to get out there!

Mater plants

I picked up some tomato plants a neighbor was giving away. She says they came from the governor’s garden.

The plants are probably two feet tall and are of different tomato varieties, one of which being the Cherokee purple variety that we loved last summer.

I’ve been well behind getting our garden going. I don’t expect to have much in the way of vegetables or fruit come fall. Getting some plants that are already sprouting flowers provides a much-needed head start.
