Maxx, the dog is tuckered out this weekend after a 20-mile running week so I gave him Sunday off. Instead, my beautiful fiancee and I decided that after yesterday’s house hunting drive, we’d take a bike ride through some of the neighborhoods we liked.

We got out a little bit later than we hoped (and I only made her sad twice), but once we were on the road we fell in love with Lexington Farms, and if all goes well we’ll find a place we like in the neighborhood next year. (We do have two other back-ups, and we’re continuing to look). 

For us, the nice part is we’d be living right on the Monon Trail (6 miles from Broad Ripple), directly across the street from the Monon Center, and 3 miles south of the Carmel Arts District. We’re trying hard to live a more active life, and living here would put us right in the center of so many outdoorsy things in Indianapolis.
