Rain, Rain, Go Away...

I'm sitting here on my couch and watching the rain through the Windows.  The rain, which has been relentlessly pouring down for the last six days.   Now I realize that the earth requires water to fortify the ground and plants, however,, after six days of downpour I am started to feel depressed!  I have finally started a couple of gardens around my house.  I'm so excited to see the plants grow and receive the bounty from the vegetables.  However, just when I really got started, the rains came! I am actually a little worried that some of my plants may be getting drowned with all the rain .  Dave said he thought over just three days we got about 3 inches of rain. 

 Last Sunday, I had the opportunity of watching Dave take part in a half-marathon race! (13.1 miles) He got into running while we were getting healthy and realized that he was good at it and that he liked it.  So I suggested that he run a race/marathon. We found one and he started training for it.  A while back, his knee was injured and he wasn't sure whether or not he was going to be able to run, but he was able to work through it.  I had a great seat, as there was a cute little coffee house that I found that I sat in and watched as people came around the final turn. It was a fun experience and Dave is already looking for more opportunities to run!
