Almost Wordless Wednesday



I can't wait to take our boat out this weekend. Madelyn is stoked about getting back on the tube this year. I keep telling her that the water will be much too cold this weekend, but she is tougher than me so I imagine she will be on the tube regardless.

Count Down to San Diego Marathon



It's official..... I have a race number and corral number (I guess runners are treated like cattle in a marathon!). My race number is 23458 and my corral number is 23.

In less than 3 weeks I will be completing my first full marathon. I am anxious, excited and nervous, but mostly I'm ready for race day to be here. I feel like I've put in the time and miles and it is time to Get R' Done! I will run 20 miles this Saturday and then it will be the downhill slide to race day. I am so happy that Ryan encouraged me to sign up for the full marathon rather than the 1/2 marathon. Running a full has been on my bucket list and I will be so proud when I can mark it off my list.

However, my body is tired and needs a break from training. I'm looking forward to the day that I can just go out for a 5 mile run because I want to not because it is on my training schedule.

If anyone is interested I can give you a link when it is closer to race day and you can track my progress that day. Kind of a nifty thing.

Hillbilly Girl Living in a Hillybilly World

After a torrential down pour the first thing Madelyn wants to do is play in flooded ditch.






We sold the go-kart from Santa because Madelyn wasn't thrilled about driving it after a she crashed into a tree. It was replaced with a very used 4 wheeler that she loves.
