Football + Running + Hockey + Triathlon = Busy Weekend

Elkins played our football game on Thursday night...freeing up the rest of my weekend. We lost in the last 36 seconds to the Travis Tigers. That is all I'm gonna say about that because I don't want to get all worked up again about sportsmanship.

Saturday morning I ran 4 miles. I saw Tessy when I was starting so we started together and then she left me in her dust. It was a much better run than last week. I had my ipod on and quickly found a rythm...something that never came to me last week. It feels good to get back in the groove of running. The Luke's Half Marathon and Marathon Relay is Oct. 26th. Tessy and I have decided to do the relay to get back in the swing of things again without overdoing it. Yeah...I will only have to run 6.6 miles of the race!

Saturday night I took Josiah to the Houston Aeros hockey game. It was opening night and Josiah's first hockey game. They won 2-1 in a shootout. He had a blast. They showed him 5 different times on the jumbotron dancing. I just know it was because he was the cutest kid there! He can't wait to go back and asked me today to go to tonight's game...I had to throw the whole not on a school night one at him! Maybe he liked it because we were 15 rows up center ice...he is soooo spoiled. Or maybe it was the fight 30 seconds into the game! He was jumping up yelling FIGHT FIGHT with the rest of the crowd! On a side note, have you ever seen the people that go to hockey games...I felt like I was in a 80's rock video with all that 80's hair surrounding me! I am including an example of what I saw!

Sunday morning I volunteered at Try Andy's Tri on the bike course. I was at the bike dismount line and almost got ran over 3 times. Slow down people...you are suppose to be off your bike by this point!Now for my weekly weigh in.....I lost 5 pounds in the past week. Only 16 more to go to get back to where I was!

Five pounds - see what a little running can do. Now we need to add a little bikin' and you'll be back!!!! Tell Josiah that he may be able to take on 5th graders, but he'd best be wary of those hockey players! Hugs!
