Everyone love ice cream!
and free ice cream is better yet. Free coupons from Miss Sue and the summer reading program at the library. We like to visit the library throughout the year on Monday nights for the family storytime.
I competed in a few races over the summer. It has been fun to see my time drop, speed increase since my half marathon in May. I competed in my first triathlon at the end of August. I was the swim leg. I was the 3rd fastest woman out of Lake Michigan. It was a sprint tri, but the lake was cold nonetheless, 56deg. Oh! and we won the womans relay event. Here are my teammates, Mary and Lori. I really enjoyed the relay event. It was my first tri and I just had to get the swim out of the way. I'm a great swimmer, but open water is way different than in the pool. I've pinned it to, that it is the opposite of clostraphobic, but it's that there is too much water around me and I don't know what is under me. BUt the more I do them hopefully I can overcome that. I'm looking forward to next season. And I have another half coming up in 2 weeks. And then I signed up for a full marathon in April in CA. My bro and I are running the Big Sur marathon!
And as you can see from the post just before this, we spent a short time over Labor Day at Mermaid Lake with the Reed family and my brother. We had a great time!
Other events from the summer- Adam and I went to Upper Peninsula MI. It was great. The kiddos had a sitter and we had some time away. We went to Pictured Rocks Nat Lakeshore. Put iit on your bucket list people. It's awesome and we also spent a few days in Marquette. And we'll be back next summer, they have a mountain bike race and Adam is going to jump into the racing events too.
**and not real sure what is the problem with this blog. but hopefully I figured out a way around things so I can post.
