I ran an 8k'er in DC - in 33 degrees - two weekends ago with one of my best girlfriends, Krista. It was COLD - beyond cold! Granted, I am from North Carolina where having numb and frozen hands (to the point of no movement) is not a common occurence. The race went great, though. It was a St. Patty's Day race (Happiest of Birthdays Roger!). I kicked it in(half frozen)at around 47 minutes.
Other exciting news, Connor has installed a cozy rustic furnace in our basement! He actually completed this several weeks back, but I just realized that I forgot to blog about this - it is big stuff! He did a professional job, complete with a high-end stone floor beneath the furnace and new decor (plants, candles, pillow, etc) to tone up the entire room. He is a gifted man!
As for the cozy new getaway - Harpers Ferry, WV. Wow. History (backdrop for some of the most momentous Civil War events), character, and more. Cute little bed and breakfasts overlooking the Applachains. This town is cozied up next to the exact spot where the Potomac and Shenandoah (sp) meet up and create one wide open, quickly moving body of water heading for the ocean... with zest! It is a sight to behold, with trains coming in and out of the town by way of a beautiful old bridge crossing over the rivers. The town itself is super cozy and quaint with little coffee shops and bustling bistros, welcoming taverns and gift shops. It is about an hour and 15 minutes from us. We camped there one weekend (not strongly recommeneded - especially during a thunderstorm and with a baby) and stayed at an inviting bed and breakfast (like heaven!) last weekend.
Pictures soon!
