Summer is here!

Last weekend it felt like winter had returned and now we are in full fledged summer mode. The air conditioner has been put in the window and the curtains are drawn to keep the sun out. The temps have been in the 90s and that means getting out the door super early to run before it gets too hot. And even then it felt too early to be out there. Thankfully we had a line of thunderstorms roll through late on Sunday to cool it back to seasonable temps. Grayson managed to enjoy an afternoon nap snuggled on me.
I am definitely a middle of the road person when it comes to exercise outside in the warmer weather. During the week I feel like I get up early enough as it is since the baby still doesn't consistently make it through the night. And often after work I have a ton of things to get done when I get home from work. It just doesn't leave a lot of time in my day.

But in a few more weeks it will be no more excuses...I have committed to a half marathon in October and I will have to serious training to avoid injury and actually enjoy myself come race day.

The warmer temps did mean I could actually have an excuse to sit inside and do some knitting. I finished up a pair of socks and casted on what will be a linen lace wrap. I splurged and spent way more on the yarn than I have in years. Not only will it be pretty, but I can also say I made it myself. I take pride in my handiwork and I love wearing my stuff.
