Spring is just flying by

Wow, where has the time gone? I guess I've been enjoying the spring. I've been cleaning out my house and getting ready for a garage sale. NO it is NOT nesting, I'm doing spring cleaning. I've been busy watching my boys run the bases as they try to master baseball. It sure is more relaxing sitting in a lawn chair in the evening sun compared to watching a hockey game standing on cold bleachers.

I ran 5 of th 6 Mountain Goat training runs but DID NOT run the goat because of a knee injury. I guess I haven't mastered the running thing yet. I would most definitely recommend NOT running a race but signing up for it. I has given me a whole new insight. While everyone else huffed and puffed up hills, I got a massage, read a book, and relaxed in the morning sun. I would most definitely recommend this race however, just for the free food at the end, which I felt I deserved just as much as my fellow runners. I tried to look hot and exausted (not sure if I fooled anyone). I was surprised with the number of runners I now know. We have however decided I keep meeting people at the training sessions and on races, it must be because I have a sign on my back that says "Please talk to me". It is all about the visiting isn't it?

Our wonderful addition to the family (no not a baby), Pinch and Shy, are both doing well and have moved up to biggers shells. I still will not touch them - thank you.

I will be able to spend a little more time with the children this summer (and running) since my company is doing a partial layoff and I will have three weeks off. I may even work on my honey-do-list.

Camping season is quickly approaching and we turned in our leased truck. I think we may be looking for something like a suburban or something like that this time - used of course with the job situation. We however are enjoying not having the payments right now. It does make it hard to make summer plans however. We may be bunking it with friends and family this summer if we don't find something reliable to purchase before that. I don't do well in a tent, I'm too old to do "rough" camping. Did I just say "too old"??? yikes. I do have a friend that will be joining me in the big 40 group (same running age category) very soon so I better stop the "Old" jokes.
