Hood to Coast.

I didn't make it to the farm last weekend. I ran the Hood to Coast instead. What an exhilarating experience. I can't believe how good and bad it felt. The team bonding, staying up all night, running in the dark of 4 am, my thighs turning to bricks in the middle of the 14th mile....all so good and so painful. I think I'll do it again.

This weekend I wont be out on the farm until Sunday. I am doing my first senior care day on Saturday, a 12 hour shift. I'm trying senior care as a companion, no nursing skills necessary. Part of my bouquet business was supposed to be about seniors, but it didn't go that way. Now I am signed on with Home Instead, a senior care franchise, my job is to just "be there". This saturday I will take a walk with 88 year old Wilda hopefully through a garden.

Wow--that is awesome and amazing. I was just talking to Joe about the Hood to Coast and how I never did it, but wished that I had. Do you run regularly? I miss running... maybe I will get to do it again someday ;)

Love, Michelle
