Old Mom Learning New Tricks

Well Kerri and Kevin have both started blogs and it is so much fun to check their blogs and see what is happening I wanted to try one too. The problem is I am techno-savvy challenged. I thought I would put a fun picture on the first blog to start but oops, photo library got erased from the computer, I'll have to check on Craig's and see what I can post that might be fun for our "newspaper".
The most consuming thought in my head for the next few months is training for the Vikingman Half Ironman. I don't know what possessed me to register for this event, but I did and have definitely bitten off more than I can chew. I started training in January and was doing ok till the last few weeks, I've just been kinda burnt out. I've got to ramp it back up, I went to spin class this morning and my legs felt like noodles, but this evening I finally got back on the road, it was a gorgeous evening and since the boys had a minimum day and had homework done I was able to sneak out for a ride, got one 10 mile Sunset Loop in, felt nice to be back on the bike even though I probably should have ran or swam. Oh well....
We are also doing Spudman which is really my "A" race for the year. Vikingman I will just be happy to survive, but since I have a time from last year to beat at Spudman I am looking forward to it. It will also be fun because Kerri is doing it again, and Kevin, Brian, and Brad are entered as a team. Craig will be doing Mt. Whitney the same week with Brent and Kyle, another divide and conquer situation--I'm not liking being an expert on dividing.
Kerri said there is a way that everyone can post and keep us all up to date on the family. I'll have to figure that out--then we can get Kerri, Kevin and hopefully soon Brian updates directly from them. I guess I'll have to do the "news" for Craig and I, Brent, Kyle and Brad.
