rain happens

i haven't felt a whole lot like posting over this weekend. dh lost his job on friday. goodbye stable income. goodbye health insurance. goodbye free climbing gear. please don't say anything to try to pluck me up. nothing about 'when one door opens...' nothing about 'really, it's probably a good thing.' because right now it just sucks.

it rained all weekend. all weekend. every last moment. with two weeks to go until the marathon this was my big 20 miler weekend and i had to do it in the pouring rain, with winds gusting 30-50 mph. my gore paclite jacket worked for the first 8 or so miles, but then i was just wet. but i did it and i'm wicked proud and feeling like i can do this marathon.

the winooski river crashing over a dam after a weekend full of rain.

nice progress on the french market bag. i'll try to post some pics later this week when i'm feeling a bit more plucky.
