It's almost time to can! (Oh yeah, I signed up for another marathon)

After much thought and inner soul searching, a realization occurred that I need a goal.  My original plan of signing up for a marathon, completing that race, and then living blissfully ever after in great running shape did not fully work.  After the race, I kind of botched the staying in marathon shape.  My attempts to get resume running...did not go so well.  HEY! It's hard to get going in the morning when one is confronted by a big batch of homemade blueberry pancakes, dripping in maple syrup with a big side of bacon while the Jersey Shore airs on MTV for the 2,398th time. Running shoes or Snooki? I know, unfair question when the mind is in a food coma of maple and bacon goodness.  Happy trees by Bob Ross could keep me planted for hours on the couch in that condition.  I need a goal.  So this weekend, I went searching for another race.  On March 4th, 2012, I will be running in the Napa Valley Marathon. Side note, I wonder if there are any wineries down in that area that I could stop at, therefore righting off the whole trip as a business expense?  If that is not a valid deduction and you work for the IRS, that past sentence was not written by me.

In other news, my tomato plants are coming along and I got a ton of jalapenos ripening up.
