i love when the sun comes out and i can pull out my summer dresses.  dresses are easy to wear on hot days when you need something light and comfortable.  shabby apple has some of the cutest dresses.

{HALF}

Yesterday morning I ran a half marathon.  Not my first, but my second.  I love the free-ness and sites that are seen while running, especially when running new territory.  Yesterday's run was in Vancouver, Wa, in many regions I don't generally explore.  The competition and challenge of running is thrilling and addicting.  I have debated running a marathon but not ready to train.  It takes time, LOTS, and I am not sure I am ready to give that much time up.

BEFORE

I am looking for my next run though.... not sure when or how far but looking forward to the free-ness and challenge of it!
