How I did it
How to run more
It took me
3 months
It made me
healthier

How I did it: I just started running.  I don't try to go too far or too fast, but I manage to get out a lot, usually alone but sometimes with a friend.  I don't always feel like going, but I never regret it! Read how I did it…

Buy a House
Just a small house in a small town 12 months ago

refinish my desk (read all 2 entries…)
I planned to do a great job, but settled for adequate 2 years ago

I was going to restore the finish and make the wood glow, but after looking at the desk for 9 months, I just painted it. It looks great and I now have a functioning desk.
