I am officially over the five-mile mental hurdle! On the most hills I've run, yet, too. It is windy today, though I only went about seven blocks running straight into the wind--lucky guess on the direction to run first on my part, I guess.
Running (or walking, or probably biking) lets me see a lot more than I can in a car, including all the people in our neighborhood that have really nice lawns. Though I'm not an advocate for watering grass just to keep it looking like a golf course, it does look really nice when the lawn is thick, green grass instead of the weed/grass jumble we have. I also saw a lot of nice fences (we need a fence, so I suppose that's why I was noticing that), including one that had this intricate carved sunflower made out of different kinds of wood on the front gate. There are very few mass-manufactured lawn ornaments in Seattle. I love being able to see that.
I also spotted two beautiful, brick tudors. I love our house, but I think I'd trade in an instant for one of those brick tudors. These two also had the golf-course grass.
I need to hire a gardener.
