Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!

I have no fun and exciting pictures to share. But here is a update on my life. We have recently had a pretty bad bout of illness with Arie this week. She seems to be on the mend now. We have been busy with soccer, scouts, track, PTO, and everything else. Our family had to speak in church last week. We are glad to have that over with. It keeps raining alot. And it keeps raining. I guess that is how it goes when you have a new bike waiting to be rode!

Since I opted for the new bike instead of the car, I decided to have a little work done on the car. The Honda was in the shop for 2 weeks!! I truly missed my car! I called the mechanic everyday. I'm not sure if the work that was done to it helped any. I also sold my old road bike. It pulled at my heartstrings a little to see the old guy go. We had spent many miles together.

I am in the final preparations for the Marathon. I will pick up the special cream for my legs on Monday. This is supposed to block pain and inflammation, so hopefully I can finish the race!

I have still been continuing my swim lessons. I am excited because that is going well. I am starting a new program on Weds. called TRX. I am excited to give it a try.

I need the sun to shine so I can ride my bike! I am tired of standing in the rain at soccer games. I need the sun! I need the sun!

The good news is that school is almost out and I got confirmation on the LOTOJA entry!!!

It has kind of stopped raining. But it is not super warm yet. I have not really started training yet for LOTOJA, I have to live through the marathon first! Are you guys ready to move?
