My wonderful Mr. Pi was away for 10 whole nights. What did I do with my solo time? Technically, I was only solo for half of those nights since my Mom flew up to hang out. Here’s a photo essay of what I did while Mr. Pi was away. (I didn't get a pic of my mom and I shopping, which is something we do quite well!)
cuddling with Zoey on the couch
hiking with my mom in the gorge
Zoey went too!
We also drove the "fruit loop" and were treated to great views of Mt. Hood
I started hanging all of our race bibs on the wall in the basement (I know I have more at my Dad's somewhere and my first races I don't think I even saved my bibs)
I also started hanging our medals. Most of mine are at work so those are mostly Mr. Pi's (on the left).
Zoey and I took lots of walks around the neighborhood and I started taking pictures of flowers that I want to plant next year. Anyone know what those pink/white ones are?
More flowers from the neighbors. Orange ones anyone?
I liked the orange/red leaves of this ground cover stuff, again, anyone know what this is?
Flowers Mr. Pi and my Stepdad sent my Mom and I
And finally, a great pic of Zoey soaking up the sunshine.
In exercise news, I failed at my running goal. I only ran twice! Wait, wait, I can explain. I came down with a little cold during my LONG weekend which I thought deserved less running and more relaxing on the couch. I did manage to strength train once and I put the bike up on the trainer (due to rain) and rode intervals for an hour.
Goals for this week: Same as last week (4x running 20-25 miles; 1 x swim or bike; 1 x strength train). Also, I need to start working out in the morning. I love it once I’m in the habit, what is my problem! Oh right, the bed is all nice and cozy in the morning, that's the problem.
BIGGEST goal for the week---SPENDING TIME WITH MY AMAZING HUBBY!!!!
Yup, that's the guy!

The pink & whites are petunias: http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/PD/3745/
The middle one looks like a type of chrysanthemum to me, but I'm not positive.
I do feel fairly confident that the third one is a type of coleus, although I'm not sure: http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=Ag6&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&biw=1280&bih=870&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=coleus&aq=f&aqi=g10&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
sounds like you made it through ok :)
The third one looks like a variety of sweet potato - they grow really easily as a ground cover (not for food) in your type of climate - my mom has fantastic luck with them!
taking photos of the flowers was smart!
Sounds like you had a nice time while riding solo. Have fun now that he's back!
Zoey is an absolute doll!!
I like your medal rack.
Have fun with your hubby! Love all the pics esp. of Zoey!
It sounds like you had a great time with your mom. I love your idea of taking pics of flowers you want to plant! I'm going to steal your idea and do it too! :)
OK, how awesome is amy even giving links? rock on, and I agree with her. I've bought those petunias at Lowe's before, and the third one is a coleus. Not sure what kind of mum that is. I have no links so I must bow to the domestic goddess.
How cool having your mom hang for a while! that's always fun.
Sounds like you had a good vacay from your guy! ;) Enjoy him now that he's back!
I am not a horticulture expert but the second one is either a type of mum or a type of dahlia.
Great pics! I also have all my race bibs hanging in my basement. I work out alot done there in the winter and it keeps me motivated!
I know nothing about flowers so I can't help you there. They are all gorgeous though!
Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing! Sounds like you had a good time, despite missing Mr. Pi!
Sorry, I know little to nothing about flowers except they are pretty! :)
Love your medal rack and all the bibs.
Looks like you had a nice week.
MWAH! It is good to be home. Good to know I was missed too.
I think the orange one is a dahlia too - they come in so many colors, sizes and shapes and can be so fun! The bulbs will come up year after year. We have spiky white ones coming up right now - they started coming out of the ground about 6 weeks ago and started flowering maybe 2 weeks ago.
