Race Tales

Saturday was a big day. We had a lot of races. Michael competed in his second triathlon. He did great on the swim and bike. The run ...he probably does not want to talk about the run.

During the last leg he thought,
"I don't ever want to do this race again."
After he finished he thought,
"I know I can do better!"

He signed up for his next triathlon that same night. I thought he did really well though, he made two of his goals, beat his old race time and beat my race time. I'll have to catch him in August.

The Running Walkers competed again in our county's version of The Amazing Race all day Saturday. Since Michael double booked himself unknowingly, I got my sister Lisa to step in and pair with me. We did awesome! Who came home with second place and a cash prize of $250? That's right, US. The big M and L. I think it was a combination of Lisa's brain power and my endurance. A shout out to our friends the Francis' who won the first park prize and got our game going.

And now I admit by ten o'clock that night I already spent my half of the earnings on a little house item I'd been eying. (The sale was ending, I had to act!)



On another note, Ander jumped his crib for the first time ten minutes after we laid him down for bed that night. Mayday mayday mayday! We have just lost nap and bedtime control!

(I may have to resort to locked bedroom doors.)
