Lots happened this week! My seeds are finally sprouting:


And I made some new seed starting soil-holders (for free!) that are currently holding spring mix.


We got our first CSA share. We're not sure it's right for us--it's a bit of a trek on our bicycles to the pick-up site, and the box isn't quite enough vegetable for us for the week. That means we have to make an extra trip, for three stops total. It might make more sense when our garden is in full swing and we don't need as much supplemental veggie.

Oh, I also like grocery shopping and picking my produce, which is a major downside to a CSA.



On Friday, our housemate and I went for a ride to our old 'hood and did some shopping at the farmer's market. Since we transitioned to organics, it's not quite as excitingly inexpensive and abundant as it used to be. Still, it was fun to frolic amongst the vegetables.




On a less positive note, I think I overdid the running these past few weeks. I've been doing a lot of running in the afternoons, when the water is too rough to row, or I don't have time to get down to the boathouse. After a long run earlier this week, my lower back was incredibly uncomfortable. I scaled back across the board, and I think I'm now back in business. 

It's always good to have a reminder of how valuable and fragile the human body is. Experiences like this remind me to cherish the trust I can put in my body. When I start a hard workout, it's very valuable to trust that my body--although it may be exhausted--can do it.

And to end on a high note--I am going to Australia! Confirmed yesterday, we are racing our lightweight quad and potentially a few other boats in Australia at the end of March. Flights are booked, and travel arrangements are being put in place very quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing the girls again, and to the opportunity to race!
