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!

Yesterday was the Run Around Lake Kampeska 1/2 Marathon, and also a 10K and 5K race. Here is the finish lines for the 5K and 10K. We had a big thunderstorm, and over 2 inches of rain earlier during the night, but cleared in time for the race. It did not do much to help with the humidity though, as it was still very warm running during the race.
These road race/fun runs are a good social get-together as well. Everybody is either out to compete, or just get their exercise in with a group. Here people are gathering afterwards for food and awards. Everybody had a good time. These events are also a great way to meet new people, and everybody has the same intentions…they are trying to do something to help with their own health! Try one out if you never have participated in one before.

Watertown now has a bicycle club–WBC–Watertown Bicycle Club. They meet each saturday morning, and now, during the summer, it is at 7:30 AM at McKinley Park. Anybody is welcome to ride along. It is a good social event each weekend. Wear helmets! The WBC was created to get more people bicycling; increase the visibility of bicycling in Watertown; promoting and advocating bicycle education and safety, to name a few. Later on in August they are hosting a century ride–a 100 mile bike ride to be help in Watertown. More details can come in regards to this in the near future. Their web site is www.watertownbicycleclub.com. Check it out!

Good job South Dakotans!! The CDC has released the latest obesity statistics from 2010 and we have improved! Our incidence of obesity went from 38% in 2009 to 36.9% in 2010.

I have included a picture of a South Dakota sunset from last week on my bike ride. This really makes me appreciate living in a beautiful state (despite our winters)!
