We had a great weekend – we were really productive actually. Friday, I did a little yard work and powerwashed the house and then we saw the new Narnia movie. Not the best. I would wait until it’s on video or until it’s on cable – pretty disappointing.
On Saturday, we planted our vegetable garden. In a little while we will have tomatoes, lettuce, bell peppers, green peppers, and carrots. We have to put up a little fence when they start sprouting because we have some very hungry bunny rabbits in our neighborhood.
I decided to do the Reeds Lake Run 10K on June 28, so I am still in training mode. I did the six miles Saturday and still feel pretty good. Jim’s actually thinking about doing it too. He chose playing basketball as his training. 🙂
I prefer to not talk about the Piston game on Saturday night. At least they redeemed themselves last night.
I had been watching the weather on Sunday and it looked just beautiful. I really wanted to take a bike ride on the Kent Trails to Byron Center. It’s a really pretty ride and there’s an ice cream shop in Byron Center – that’s all the motivation I need. Well, in my head I had thought it was 8 miles one way so 16 miles round trip. A good solid ride. No, my friends. I was mistaken. We mapped it on mapmyrun.com (the best tool ever by the way) and it was 25 MILES!! If I sit on anything, it has to have at least a three inch pad. I wasn’t ready yet.
Yesterday turned out to be beautiful too! So much for the thunderstorms (which I am bit sad about actually). We went to the big parade in the morning – they go right down Baldwin and it lasts for about and hour and a half! Audrey and all of her in-laws came. 12 kids and parents – we took up a whole block! Parade’s are so much fun when kids are there. After that, Jim apparently didn’t get enough and went mountain biking. Then more yard work – when your yard loves weeds more than grass, the work never ends. Last night we used an Olive Garden gift card (what could be better?) and then saw the new Indiana Jones movie. We both really liked it. Different than the other ones, but good.
I was really getting used to this vacation thing. Working isn’t going to be easy… but that’s why it’s work, huh?
