When I decide to do something, I usually go all the way. A few years ago, I wanted a garden. It was late in the spring and we didnt have much time to get plants in the ground before the scorching hot Texas heat would kill seedlings. So my husband gathered some boards, built a raised bed, and I threw some plants in the ground. I had an awesome load of tomatos, cucumbers, onions, peppers and plenty of herbs. Then, the local library and I became best of friends. Over the course of the year I probably checked out 30 books on gardening. I love to know the ins and outs of what I am doing.
I still love my garden, but have moved on to researching my new obsession...the marathon. I checked out two books today and am already half way through one of them. I dont want to do this halfway. If my first garden had failed I could just pick up some produce at the grocery store or farmers market...no big deal. Well, failure is not an option for the marathon. I will cross that finish line!! So for now, that means researching and making sure I have all the tools I need to prepare for the big event.
