Today we had a chance to spend the entire day together as a family. We started by heading out of town to a river for some hiking, rock throwing, and a picnic lunch. This took the entire morning and was well wortht the 40 mile drive to see the boys fall in the river as they enjopyed throwing the rocks. After our return trip home we all took a well needed afternoon nap and slept like rocks. Micah woke us up with his familiar call for "juice". In the evening we had a short family walk to the grocery store, time in the new front yard swing, and of course filled our evning watching the Olympics. Andrew and Micah love the water sports, swimming and diving are just the greatest to them. What a day! Make sure to watch the video above of the WACKY swing!
Grandmas Marathon- getting faster!!
3:00:38 Grandmas Marathon PR!! I’m still smiling…things are coming along nicely in my marathon expertise! Haha, Im just being silly but I really am learning more as I go-what works best for me, what doesn’t. June 17th was a blast!! Cramps hit strong in my left calf around mile 18 and then my pace got more limited as I went, I was so scared I would pull something that I tried to find the balance of push and hold up! Super proud of this race and the battle I fought. The marathon is a beast and continues to challenge me! Games ON still for the CIM Marathon on December 3rd. 😁First up though, trails and less miles for me for awhile. My friend Leah is a true gem, someone I really enjoy sharing running miles and life with. Kyle, Micah and I enjoyed time with Leah’s family in Duluth. Her sister Sara and brother-in-law Mike made us feel so welcome and special! I’ve been getting faster and continue to PR each year since my late 30s, in fact the last time I raced Grandmas Marathon I ran a 3:16
