A Family Ride

Even though it is not a double digit ride we had a great time! Hudson is the best kid ever.

The Best 70 Miles of My Life

Last Saturday I attended CASVAR. This was a benefit for Dr. Bennett's family. I had originally only thought of riding the 20 or 40 miler. I have been "training" pretty much all summer. I started out riding with the guys from the valley and they were moving really fast. I couldn't keep up with the pack and broke off. They were going up the south end anyways and I am almost sure I am not ready for that yet. They were trying to talk me into the 100 miler, I will be ready for those next year, but for now I will stay with what I feel comfortable with.
I was riding past a pair of two older ladies and asked how far they were going. They said well we think we will go on the 70 miler. I thought well I am young and probably in better shape anyways so I rode the full 70 miles. The rest stops had great people who were helpful and great encouragement. I had Cory meet me back at Canyon View Park and we had a great dutch oven cook out. I am hooked on cycling...it's addicting!
School is underway as is coaching volleyball. Hudson is back at his in home daycare and loves Natalie. Tip out there to working Mom's or those to be-find a daycare that is in home that will do exactly what you would do or more and this will save your life;) seriously. Cory started his online class today and is enjoying his job. He is running into struggles, but likes the challenge.

The Grey's River, Derby and Water Week

It has been awhile since the last blog I know. I attended a Special Education Leadership Symposium. My wonderful Mom met me there and took care of Hudson while I attended classes. When we got back I moved our things from one bag to another. I ran a 5K on Saturday, no there are no pictures because a lot of people passed me, but I did it and will know to train more. I thought I could not run because of my knee, but I did a couple times and thought what the heck...I'll run a 5K down Swift Creek.
Off we went for a couple days to Grey's River. On Monday we went for a hike with Anne and Megan. I did make a bad choice and wore my running shoes instead of hiking boots, I even have the blisters to prove it. Tuesday we hiked up Barstow and Wednesday Cory and the brothers went and got wood. It was a great trip and we loved seeing our family.
It is official Cory won another derby as you can see from the pictures! Casey placed second and won in the compact division (there were only two cars!). Hudson really enjoyed the trophies. Clint did really well, he didn't place, but he is really excited to drive next year. We do have a DVD already made of this if anyone is interested in watching the crazy night!
