It's been a little crazy around here. But we've decided that is how we play best and somehow our summer is nearly half way gone. And although this was the first weekend we didn't have something going on, we had some funthing(s) going on. Starting with mommy running for Team SWEET in the La Grande XTERRA!
Talk about mindovermatter that was my chant as I ran in the eighty plus degree weather. The run was a 10k, bike a 25k, and swim a 1k. It was a tough, hilly 10k. My final "official" time was 1:09.
Upon the arrival to a work barbecue after the XTERRA, I bragged that my time was 1:04ish. I seriously thought that it was. Apparently, I didn't look at my watch until 5 minutes into it. I can eat crow tomorrow when I confess that I really wasnotthatgreat.
At the Wilson Resort, the family had fun! We were the last to arrive (due to race) and last to leave by a longshot. We used their paddle boat on the pond, raced their golf carts around their nine hole course and snuck on their gator for a good ol' farm ride. The kids did NOT want to go. And cannot wait to go back! If we are lucky.
So Sunday I folded fifteen loads of laundry and washed and remade all four beds. While E mowed the lawn and cared for our garden. After household chores were done, we snuck out for a hike at Catherine Creek! Making it much further than we have in the past. MaKenna was a natural--wanted to be in first place and would rather run on the trail than walk. Sadly, we had to walk because Jet could not keep up any longer, nor could Morgann. We threw some rocks in the creek and headed home.
After a crazy week of soccer coming up, we embark the second weekend of nothing to do. I'm sure we'll fill it with somethings. In fact, pending fire dispatch we just might luck out and go camping! Get out there!
