Accepted!

Our bid was accepted! We are buying a house (pending the inspection is all good or at least not horrendous)!  Did I mention that the house is freshly renovated, as in BRAND NEW carpet, floors, appliances, fixtures, paint, heating and cooling? Oh yeah.  And did I mention that there are three bedrooms and a big backyard?  Oh yeah.  It is going to be so much fun to unpack all of our belongings that have been in storage for over a year and a half and create a home.

Yesterday was a super hot one and despite many bottles of sunscreen and a few beach umbrellas there was some red noses and shoulders around the dinner table last night.  Whoops.

Due to the heat and the way the day flowed I didn’t hit the sand for a run until almost 6:30.  It was a really nice time to be on the beach, most people had already packed up for the day and the light was really nice.  I was out for 40 minutes and ran at least 35 (there were a few 30 second-minute walking breaks taken).  I finally remembered to bring water along with me and it helped a lot in dealing with the heat and humidity.  I also did a Pilates workout from “10 Minute Solution”, it was a challenge!  I thought my abs might be a bit sore today but no.

I didn’t sleep well last night and the only good thing about that was almost catching sunrise this morning.  By 6:45am, when I got to the back deck, the sun was this high

And there was one solitary dolphin bobbing up the coast.

What a lovely time of day!  And what a perfect time for some Sun Salutations!  I grabbed a mat and did my yoga routine right at the waters edge.  When I do yoga regularly (at least twice a week) my body craves it and responds by warming up quickly and allowing me to go deep into the postures.

Today is our last full day at the beach so I plan on lots of time in the ocean, some long walks, and grilled fresh fish.  A very pleasant way to pass a Tuesday.  Have a great day!
