miles

well, i thought i was doing good. while i still lived in hawaii i ran occasionally, and i've made a goal to run here. in hawaii i can run about a mile without stopping, even if i get a little slow in the end. a hawaiian mile does not equal a heber mile! i guess oah'u is about sea level...well the elevation here is 6500 feet. not much oxygen in the air here. i lasted almost half a mile before i needed to throw up. i have a feeling the 32oz of dr. pepper earlier didn't help much either. but i do believe that after i reach my goal of three miles here, i will be able to run even further when i get back to hawaii! i have six months to do this. keep me on it everyone!

in the house here we have a wood stove. i've been a little worried about paxton with it, he hasn't managed to burn himself yet but i'm sure he will. he tapped it once while it was hot and it must've startled him because he cried bloody murder, but there was no burn. now i believe my boy is a smart little thing, but he keeps running back to the stove and hitting it. most of the time its cold, but eventually the weather's gonna be cold enough that it will be going constantly instead of just in the mornings. he did manage to get into a little soot this morning, you can see it on his nose.

and this is the first fire i've built in years!

anyway i'm done for now. sorry honey i haven't posted in a few days, i'll try to be better at it. i love you james!
