Well, yesterdays weather was great…while it lasted. At least we had a good day then. We got lots of things done outside as well, plus our run in for the day. I went earlier, then went to work outside on the lawn, and trimming trees. I took these of Sarah out on the bike trail…

…it is so nice having access to the bike trail right just around the corner from our house. This way, we don’t have to worry about traffic. Now all we need is for the weather to stay good for more than one day in a row! For now, we take it as it comes.

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!

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!

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!

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.
