Ella came to visit us yesterday and is really getting big. She has huge blue eyes and is quite the beauty. Looks like she's going to be one of the few lucky girls that get blue eyes and dark hair. Colleen calls here Snow White. What a cutey! Erin and Josh came over as well so it was fun to have them all here. I really have to work on my picture taking as I seem to take lots of pictures but most of them are not very good. I'll just have to keep practicing. One of these days I'll get it right!
We had a very busy weekend and now I'm getting ready to leave for Cleveland and meet our newest granddaughter, Zella. I'm very excited to meet her and spend some time with her as well as my little Adalyn. How fun is that! I hope the Chico and Frank can survive without me for 10 days! I'm sure they'll be fine although Chico may be a little freaked out and will probably spend the whole time looking for me.
I ran 10 with Chris on Saturday and opted out of the 25 mile bike ride that I was going to do after the run. It was extremely hot and humid and I was whipped after the 10. I deep forgetting that I'm 57! The course we did was part of the Boogie 50 mile run and it's very hilly. I can't imagine doing it 5 times!!!
On Sunday I had my first beginner runner join the group. It was a lot of fun and I'm really looking forward to starting my beginner group which will officially kick off after I get back from Ohio. I was voted in yesterday as the President Elect (VP) and will become President of the club on January 1, 2009. I'm very excited about it as I have many ideas for the club. They've had problems in the past getting runners to come out to run with them as they have the reputation of being too fast. Now with me around that reputation will be erased!
Today Frank and I met with Chris and biked the Tour De Moore bike ride. We only did the 50 but it was pretty challenging but fun. The weather was perfect which was a pleasant surprise after the past few days of July like heat and humidity. We really lucked out.
I'm just about packed to go to Cleveland. Next Sunday I'm running a half-marathon. It will be a good gauge to see just how fit or unfit I am after months of not running. My goal is to run it under 2:30 but will be happy just to finish.
Better go and get ready for the big trip!
