Tuesday

If you get my blog via email. Sorry for the last post you got before I was done proofing it. (Still playing with the iPad) If you don't get my blog in your email but would like to just let me know.

I am working on getting new pictures of the garden up. The garden don't look as green do to heat and plant lose. But I have been eating cucumber, onion, cantaloupe, basil and tomatoes  from the garden.  One thing that I have not been successful at growing here is corn. And I am still having a hard time with the pumpkins. We should have had only one generation of squash vine bores but do to the weather we are on generation two.  I know what the adult moth looks like so I am keeping a close eye on the pumpkins. (I did catch one the other day. They are bight colored and day time flyer's so that helps)

Saturday was an off day from training and Sunday was a cross train day. I slept long than I was planning on Monday, so I was going to wait till the evening to get my run in. (I think that this race will be more walking than running but I am doing it with my sister. So I am not worried about my time and just planning on having a good time.) But right now it is hard to run in this summer heat. At this point I should be focusing my time and mileage but I can't I need to worry about not over heating. It never cooled down enough to get my run in on Monday. So I did an indoor cardio walking workout. And it looks like that's what going to happen again today plus a swim. When it's 110 outside it's just not safe to run outside. I have some good walking workouts that I can do inside. They are the same one I use in the winter when it's to cold out. I do them in my shape up and I get a nice workout.

Just on a side note. I love my iPad. I started writing as I was sitting and getting my toes done.And I finished sitting in bed.

It has been so long since my last post. So hold on!

It has been so long since my last post. So hold on! I am still have issues with headaches but my ear has stopped hurting. We did find out that it was sinus related. They did give me meds for it, but I am trying to only using them as needed. Because when you add four more meds to my mix it bring my total to 15. I have moved to a vegan diet and managed to get off one of my meds. I am getting ready to start training. Due to a lot of different factors. I was unable to do See Run Jane Austin (and it ended up being cancelled due to weather). So I have not been walking as much as I should be. Having access to a car a few days a week has inferred with my walking schedule too. But it's time to get back in gear. I have a 2 month 22 days still the Austin Marathon. I will only be doing the half marathon again this year. If I wasn't so lazy I would have already started to train. It only has been the last month we have been getting some cold nights. So I still have some things coming out of...

Made it thru the week

Jasmine :-) Do to spring break my normal route was thrown off. But I still managed to work in the garden, go to a doctors appointment, do a big haul grocery store run, get a hair cut, visited with a friend, work on this blog...... ........became an honorary boy (I had to say "Boys are fantastic, girls are elastic!" 3 times) so I could play "Dangerous Book for Boys Board Game" And  lost a toenail. :-) Mike Tyson 3/13/11 (He was hard to get a picture of. He moved around a lot. And I was using my phone to take pictures.) :-)

How to irrigate the garden

One of my garden project that I been working on is: How to irrigate the garden. In the Texas summer heat vegetables need lots of water everyday. And I am already under water restrictions. I can only use a sprinkler head or system two days a week. And it also not the most efficient way to water the garden. And I wanted an idea that I could use recycled materials. After some searching on the Internet. I found IcePop-Drip-Irrigation . The short version: A frozen water bottle wrapped with a mylar chip bag. (Because I am anal about what I eat and about recycling. Both water bottles and chip bags are not some thing you find a lot of in my house. But it amazing what you can find at your local construction site.) I did change one thing to suit me and the garden better. I have a lot of more plants to water and it will be and early morning chore. So I drilled holes in the lids. Now I can just set them out in the garden and I don't have to wait for daylight. Hand Update: It is healing an...
