Almost

The kitchen work is almost done.  I need to paint two window frames, crown molding and two door frames and install the lighting in the cabinets. A couple of hours should do it all.    Wow, what a change in looks! From old country over the top decorations  to new world in a couple of years.   In these pictures, we are looking at the same corner.  The old kitchen is staged for the sales brochure by the previous owners.  I staged the new one to look "normal"


 
The only pieces we kept from the previous kitchen were the garbage disposal and frig.  The rest is basically new or completed refurbished. We are pretty happy with the turn out.   I will get a panorama shot in the blog was soon as we get the trim finished. 
 
I did run this week!!! The weather was cool and looked like rain was coming over the hill, so I ran on the gym's 1/11 mile track. I really need to get outside and on the track.  I felt strong and had a pretty good workout.   I was trying out some 6 ounce Under Armour ultra light shoes.  They are light, but tended to move around on my foot too much and were going to be a blister.  So I switched back to my New Balance old reliables and did not blister. I also lost my heart beat sender and was without any electronic support!!!  I have a spare I need to learn how to use and will have the electronically hooked up next session, which should be today.  Although it is raining like crazy right now.     
 
Today is second day after running, and the soreness is light in the legs.  The hips are the worst, but I did not have any injuries out of the chute and will get in some running today, albeit indoors.  Track season has officially made it!

Really Important Information

I participated in the USATF Masters Indoor National meet last weekend in Winston-Salem, NC.   It was good meet for me and I will add the details of the results in another post later this week.  What I want to reflect on here is the quality of people in that building.   I am just so impressed with the high level of competition and caring for each other that goes on for 3 days.  Hug and Cry Area for Awards  There were around 1000 competitors for the event, and with families and officials, generally 500 to 2000 people were in the building during the times the track was open. It was not completely full at JDL Fast Track, but a really good crowd. North Carolina passed some very hateful and just plain repressive legislation a few years back concerning rest room usage and anything that did not meet the "hateful Jesus" religion that they were  promoting.   The NBA pushed back and moved their All Star Game location and I think this may hav...

First Time Ever?

Things are just a little crazy with the chaos associated with the coronavirus and the global reaction.   Talking with my wife and brother, as well as the rest of the world that will still chat with you, nobody can remember anything quite like this situation.   The crash into the Twin Towers on 9-11 had some elements of the situation, but the total shutdown of sporting events, meetings, global travel and the run on water, sanitizer and toilet paper is just totally new to us.  The Master Indoors meet was cancelled this week, I was not planning on going this year.   I am in the middle of relocation from Nashville to Harper Ferry , West Virginia.  On March 31 we will close on the Brentwood house and close on the new place on April 2.   Getting this into place has been a real battle, but it is going to happen.    We are on our third contract for the Brentwood house and after trying to sell it for 9 or 10 months it will close this ...

Race Day Again

Finally, we get to race again! As many of you know, I was injured last April 4, 2024. I had a disk at L4 vertebra collapse and pinch a nerve in my back that caused over half of my lower leg strenth to disappear. I had a lot of atrophy in my right leg quad and I have been recovering ever since. I am close to 100% on strength and the right leg looks like it is very close to normal size again, but it has been a battle. I have been working in the gym, doing pilates again and also running. All of these things must be done in balance so you can get the proper rest and recover. I still do full body massages every two weeks and I also have been working with a Cox Technique Chiro since the injury on a weekly or biweekly basis. The chiro has gotten me stretched back out and the pressure off the nerve, that treatment has been the real source of healing in my opinion. MY normal doctor was not any help, but this is not what normal doctors do--naturally healing. The first meet of 202...
