Half Marathon Training

So, I haven't officially signed up or anything, but I'm planning on running a half marathon here in the Springs on Labor Day. I started a blog that will detail my training program and workouts. It's mainly for me - just so I can keep track of everything, but in case you are curious, here it is:


My First Half

I am most definitely not a "runner". I just want to finish the race and improve my endurance. Wish me luck!

Finally, some house pictures

So, it took me a while to unpack and even longer to take some pictures. I still need to take some of the outside and the basement. Here is the living room.



Here is another angle.



This is a semi-formal dining area that is next to the living room.



And the kitchen is right next to the dining area. It's kind of an open space with the living space, dining space, and kitchen all in the same room.



This is the front entry/hall way.



This is looking into the office/study, which is off of the main hallway, and has french doors. It could be a formal dining room, but we thought the room would be much better utilized as an office.



other side of office...



This is our bedroom - which is off of the living room.

We really like the layout of this house. It is one level with a finished basement. Upstairs are two bedrooms (ours and Emma's) and the basement has a TV room, 2 big bedrooms for the other kids, a storage room, and a full bath. Next to Emma's room upstairs is another full bath. It seems to work well for our family right now. I'll take some pictures of the basement in a couple of days.

Congratulations!

David recently earned his wolf badge in Cub Scouts. We are so proud of all the work and requirements he completed to earn this badge. Way to go David!!

On the last day of school, they had a Pride assembly where some kids got awards. Josh got the science award, and Rachel got a reading award and a library award. I'm so proud of my awesome kids!
