So first of all , why call it - Ground Cover? I have to credit my friend Jennifer for that. She inspired me to start this blog. She has her own blog at: http://www.simpleflourishes.com/. Check it out. She is very creative! Her site is full of creative ideas and projects that are sure to inspire you and get your creative juices flowing!
OK - so back to why call the blog "Ground Cover"? I am hoping to "cover" a lot of "ground" in this blog - seeing that I am a Master Gardener (ground cover) and that I run marathons (covering ground) and I have tons of other interests and a lot of opinions about a lot of things - Ground Cover seemed appropriate! Although I reserve the right to talk about just about anything that's on my mind - the general themes in the blog will center around the things I enjoy the most. In no particular order they include: Running, biking, gardening, cooking, entertaining, University of Washington College Football and Basketball (season ticket holder to both) and traveling. That's enough to keep me busy!
Something you need to know about me - the only thing that I am truly an expert on is related to my work. I get enough of that Mon-Fri. I like to think of myself as knowing a little bit about a lot of different things - just enough to give me an opinion but not enough to keep me from wanting to learn more.
Thanks to my brother David, I taken up marathon running in the last couple of years. I've always done some running over the years, mostly 10k and 1/2 marathon. Last year I ran the San Diego Marathon (me after crossing the finish line in San Diego) and the Portland Marathon. I was much better prepared for the San Diego Marathon and completed in 3:42:41. Earlier this year I ran the Yakima River Canyon Marathon. I've added a link to my site to this one - it was by far my favorite! The course is absolutely incredible, the people were extremely supportive and helpful and the weather was perfect! If you are a runner I highly recommend this marathon! http://www.ontherunevents.com/yrcm/ So you are probably wondering why I've gone off on this tangent about marathons all the sudden - I am training for an early fall marathon - the Lake Chelan Marathon on Sept. 20th. I had a 10 mile run to do this morning. I ran west from my house down to Des Moines along Puget Sound. It was a great morning for a run. I am mostly a morning runner - if I put it off until the evening, I am very likely to find an excuse not to run. I just completed week four of my 12 week training plan. I've been mixing up my training a bit and only run three days per week. I've added biking as cross training. The ride to work is 24 miles so I have been doing that 1-2 times per week.
Enough for now,
Later - Jim
