Like Mother, like Daughter! Here Sarah is getting ready to ride along on the bike to keep Megan company for her run. It helps having a training partner to get you moving. Sarah had run earlier with me as well, but cut it a little short so she could go finish with Megan. Megan normally is the swimmer, but the season is now done as of last week, and she is starting to figure out the importance of cross training to stay in shape, and in the long run, will help with her swimming.
So everybody…whoever you can get…a friend, family member, pet…who can help get you motivated and out the door…take advantage of their help! We all need a little boost once in a while, and it helps for all of us to stay healthier. Especially family…who else can you count on more to help get through tough times, and to keep us going? Have a good weekend…enjoy the weather!

The National Softball Tournament is being held in Watertown beginning today, for the next 4 days. Here Molly is pitching in their first game. Very hot outside, and humid, so have to keep reminding them to drink. Great competition, and great exercise. A fun way to work on your health. They keep safety in mind by wearing face masks, at least for the pitchers. Some of the teams all of the infielders wear them. A good idea!
The kid has some power and some wheels. Here she is hitting a double in the game. They ended up losing the first game to a team from North Dakota. Many states are here for this tournament. Everybody have fun playing, watching, and competing.

My sons softball team for 14 and under captured 2nd place at the State Softball tournament in Huron this weekend. Great for parents watching, and with the kids playing lots of games, is a great way to exercise and stay in shape, and above all, have fun.
Great weather for the tournament. Sarah and I were sponsors for their team, and was great watching them progress over the summer. Everybody has a good time, and has the ability to participate. Good job Brown Clinic/Glacial Lakes property management team!

Today marked the 27th Annual HyVee Kampeska triathlon, which consists of a 1/4 mile swim in Lake Kampeska, 14 mile bike ride around Lake Kampeska, and then a 5K run. The morning started out great, but then started getting really warm when we were running. Here Sarah and I are as we are getting ready with pre race setup.
Here we have our bikes set up in the racks ready for the bike transition. The Lake is out in the distance, and that is where we will be coming out of the water to hit the bike leg next. I will show a few more pictures of how things proceed with the triathlon over the next few posts.

Well, I can check off the list the state of New York for where I have exercised. Some of the days I stayed inside as the crowds were too big outside, and it made for moving around very slow. The hotel was facing Time Square, so you got to exercise on the equipment looking out giant windows at Time Square, and watching all of the billboards, lights, and people outside. It made the exercise time go very fast. We still did lots of walking as well, but you have to be flexible enough to decide when you are going to exercise, and where, and be safe at the same time. Here is an image of the exercise room and the windows for the view. Have a good weekend, and enjoy the great weather, and the holiday!

A good friend of ours bought a gift card from Road ID.com to allow us to buy identification wrist bands to wear when we are out running or biking as a means of providing vital information in case of an emergency. I whited out our cell numbers on here for privacy of having it on the blog site. But these wrist bands provide important information that could some day be vital for us.
These are a good way of helping to provide information that could be critical under those circumstances. They also are good to wear when traveling, or even to wear on a regular basis daily. These are great not only for your own safety and benefit, but for those important to you. Thank you Cory Ann for making us aware, and purchasing these wrist ID bands for us. Get one for yourself at www.RoadID.com.
