I have been cooking like crazy and I am loving every moment of it... so many good flavors and aromas have emerged from my kitchen thanks to my sharp cutlery and curious taste buds. I think in a few weeks I might even venture into the baking world - anyone that knows me that I don't eat sweets, so prepare to possibly take on lots of pastries shortly.
I have also been learning how to play the guitar, which has been a goal of mine for years. I decided to actually go for it; it's time to learn. Once a week, I meet with Miles, a local music student. He is very patient with me, which is saying a lot. My skills are minimal - my talking is anything but.
*My goal will be considered "achieved" when I can play one of my favorite songs by none other than Miss T. Swift!
And now for the hiccup.....
Running has gone great thus far - I am up to almost 4 miles easily. As my favorite math teacher used to say, "It's as easy as pie, no?" I run 2-3 times a week, switching the scenery up between the beach and North Park. Ashley and I always make sure to carb up afterwards with lunch too, which is necessary, and all we talk about during the run.
I have actually become pretty addicted to running. I think about it all the time. I get the urge to run constantly. It's turning into an obsession. I'm not sure if it is finding out what I am capable of, or the freedom I feel when I run that I love so much, but it something I think about from the moment I wake until I lay back down at night.
