Just a quick post & update on how m running is going.

On Saturday, I ran the furthest I ever have.
in.
my. 
life.
Yes...I got up to 14 miles.  

I've run several half marathon distances...so, peaking at 14 miles was a huge milestone for me.  
I was utterly giddy when I finished.
I ran in the mountains of Colorado while we were at our Family Reunion...

& the scenery did not dissappoint!  

I was flyin high...
a Rocky Mountain High...
hee hee... 

I am to the point where I look forward to my longer runs....on the weekdays when I'm supposed to do shorter runs...I want to go further....crazy, huh? 
I seriously get SO much JOY running!

One of my fave items o' running equipment is my iFitness belt.  

It  is:

waterproof.

fits my iPhone, keys, etc. in there.

does NOT ride up...or even move.

so comfy.

I turn on my Pandora radio & Run Keeper & I'm good to go...I get in the zone. I love it.  
I have 71 days until the marathon....
I'm finding my stRong...

makes me happy...

what's making you happy today?

I was noticing a lot of hits on my 4th of July Toilet Paper Roll art from last year & it got me to thinking about how many rolls of TP everyone goes through...why not do another fun art with those millions of rolls?


and...since I was making over our bathroom...Toilet Paper Roll art was perfect for this room! *grin*


I love the way it turned out....

the spray painted butterflies.

the white card stock butterflies

the TP roll honeycomb

& the grey vinyl be. & bee image.

Here's an Instragram shot of the shelf on the opposite wall....not very good..but, you get the picture. It just makes me smile...makeovers are always nice!
