Not so good news..

I got the results from my cholesterol test. My doctor put me on meds. This was the farthest thing from my mind. I thought that with all the exercise I've been doing that I shouldn't have to about high cholesterol. Turns out I was wrong..

Kids started their swim lessons after school today. I think they are going to do much better this year. The pre-season Spring practice really helped them. Cody will be ready next year.. He loves the water.

I'm praying for ya Moon!

Memorial weekend backyard campout.

We have had great weather this past weekend. The whole family camped in the backyard Saturday night. The kids loved it. Diane and I didn't really sleep that well though. So last night Diane opted out claiming Cody was getting a cough. Justin and I were the only ones and it was kinda special. Last night while lying there he told me that he loved me a couple of times. Even though ours is not a picture perfect family and in many cases we seem to be a very dis functional group, my kids are always quick to say how much they love us and our family.
Today is a SRD for me and my running. Saturday I did some Xtraining with the bike. I did 23 miles and my butt is still sore. Yesterday I did a nice slow 12 mile run. I can defiantly tell that summer is almost here. The humidity takes toll on runners. I may run a mile with the kids this afternoon.
Today should be pretty busy also. I'm going to smoke a turkey in the smoker. I have to tear the tent down and the kids want me to put the little pool up. I'm not too sure about that. I have to go get some sand to put on the ground first. Thanks for checking in. GB have a great rest of the weekend. Moon, I'm thinking about you and hope all goes well tomorrow...

Man it's been a couple of days since I posted here. First off I'd like to drop a little prayer for my good friend Monica.. She's a strong girl and I pray for strength and good health.

Hey Lillie, you always drop me a line so I thought I'd beat you to it. Hey Chic.....

Today's run was pretty hard. My legs just didn't have it. I wanted to run 7 but my legs could only handle 5. I think I'm going to take tomorrow off. Listen to your body, that what I always say... Your body never lies...

I promised the kids that we would camp out this long weekend. Man, that was the greatest thing since ice cream at that moment.. :D

What a great family day......

Today was my wifes first 5K and she did very well. I'm so proud of her. She did it in just under 40 minutes. I told her to go nice and slow and she will do fine. Here she is at the begining of the race. She started near the back of the pack where she felt more comfortable.


Here is a great picture of the kids. They are very proud of their medals.



I simply love this picture. Cody really loves to run. He has good form don't you think? :D


Here is a good one of Daniela with a smile on her face. You can see Justin just above her head. Then you see the old Ape and Cody behind the guy in the blue shirt.
