Spring Time

It must be Spring Time.  Outside working with the lawn and garden today, and we were met by a lot of “peeping/chirping” as a Mama duck and her ducklings were walking along the lawn, and in and out of the shrubs.  All in a line, following each other.  Spring must be here…

…while I was working on the lawn, Sarah was finishing up in the garden.  All set now, just sit back and watch it grow!  It was just a great day to spend outside.  Later in the afternoon Molly wanted to go for a bike ride, so she and I rode around the lake for a 15 mile ride.  Fun day!

Hospital Hill Run 2011

Below is an application form that can be picked up at the clinics, the community recreation center, or downloaded from the Prairie Lakes hospital web site, or saved and printed from here.  It will also be present in the newspaper shortly.  I will be having more posts related to it in the coming days.  It is our 15th annual event, scheduled for June 11, at 8AM!  Hope to see you there!

Race for Chase

It turned out to be a great day for the 1st annual Race for Chase…a combine run/bike team event.  I gave other details yesterday.  Weather kind of hindered some people from deciding on whether they would come or not, but for those of us who did, we had a really fun time…

…Sarah and I won the coed division in a time of 56:01…just under 10 miles total for the course, just getting beat out on the last stretch by the overall winners by about 13 seconds.  Bottom line, it was for a good cause, was competitive, and a lot of fun.  First time Sarah and I were in an event as a team.  Partners for life!

Race for Chase

Spent yesterday getting the bikes ready for a relay race on saturday…Race for Chase…a charity event for a little 10 month old in Watertown who had a liver transplant.  The course covers a little over 10 miles,  and is a relay team where one person has to ride the bike, and the other has to run.  You both start together, and finish together.  You can trade off as often, or as little, as you want.  Sarah and I will be on a team, and depending on the weather, my twin daughters are  planning on being a team.  It should be a fun event/race, with an overall good cause, and we get our workout for the day done at the same time.

Spring is in the Air

I was not the only one happy with having some sunny weather, even if the temperature is still cooler than usual.  I got to spend the day outside, went for a run, bike ride, and then some yard work.  Here, Buddy is relaxing, catching some rays, but he got to go for a walk earlier with Sarah….

…and then he got to run around the yard the rest of the day.  It is amazing what sunshine can do to your mood, and overall attitude.  This kind of weather is long overdue, and hopefully, the trend continues.  After such a long winter, we all deserve some great weather.  Enjoy everybody!
