Weekend Recap

Friday we went to my brother's graduation from the DPS Academy in Austin. My other brother flew in from Cali Thursday. It was great to be with both of my brothers at the same time. I miss them! After graduation Friday, Josiah wanted to go see the capitol building since they are studying Texas history in school right now. I took him for a quick picture out front and promised him we would go back and tour it this summer.
Saturday we got up bright and early to drive back to Sugar Land for Josiah's soccer game. I made my mom come with me to watch him but mostly to keep me company on the 2 hour drive each way. Josiah did great and scored his 1st goal of the year in only his 2nd game of the year! His team won 11-2. He made me promise to make him spaghetti for the big win and goal. After his game we drove back to the ranch by La Grange.

Sunday was relaxing day. Since I didn't get up in time to run at Town Lake Saturday, I had to run at the ranch instead. I went out for a nice 8 mile run through the rolling hills. I think I run better on the hills than on the flat roads of Sugar Land. Maybe because it is relaxing and peaceful out there. After my run I went to the store to get the stuff for Chunky Spaghetti as Josiah calls it (lots of veggies). I made Josiah his spaghetti at the ranch and then we drove home. My brother from Cali told Josiah thanks for getting a goal and win because he loves my spaghetti!

Now it is back to work and the real world....

Road Trip...

Josiah and I are heading to Austin for the weekend when I get off work today. My youngest brother, Alton, has passed his exams and graduates from the DPS Academy Friday morning. I'm hoping to get my long run in Saturday morning around Austin Town Lake before I have to drive back to Houston for Josiah's soccer game. When his game is over we will drive back to the ranch until Sunday night to spend more time with the family. My other brother, Matt, is flying in tonight for the weekend from Santa Rosa, CA where he is a police officer. I am going to take my bike to ride the Hill Country at the ranch Sunday morning. I love it when there is nobody else on the roads but the cows staring through the fences...

School's Back In...

It was soooo hard to get up this morning. I hit snooze 4 times and I don't usually hit it at all. I usually wake up before my 4:45 am alarm on my own! And getting Josiah up was a whole other story...

Beautiful Monday

What a beautiful morning for a run! I didn't have time to run this weekend due to work, so I did my long run this morning while at work!! :) When the football kids left for 2nd period, I ran 6 miles. It was perfect outside...cool, no wind, no humidity...WOW!!! These are the days that make me like running again.
Sam is orering me a new bike trainer so no more excuses...I will be able to either ride at 4:00am before I get ready for work or at night when I get home...probably at night. Now if I could get motivated to get in the pool and swim. Oh how I miss living right next to the ocean....

Who wears an X-Small????

My pretty new wetsuit that was suppose to come in an XL...was an XS when delivered. I don't think the leg would fit over one of my arms. The correct size is on the way...
