Landscaping

Ron and I have been working on our backyard...trying to make it nice and pretty to enjoy!  We got patio furniture, flowers everywhere and we turned this old grill into a planter!  This was the most fun we had during our landscaping work.

Training for Disneyland Half Marathon

Almost 10 months ago I decided I wanted to train for the Disneyland Half Marathon - Aug 31, 2008.  I got a running coach and he planned out a schedule for me.  I was to start training 12 weeks before the race....but as my friends found out I was going to do the Disneyland Half Marathon, out the window the training plan went and now I have 10 additional friends going to do the marathon with me.  

We started training towards the end of April and have changed our schedule a few times to meet the demand of running on our body, but we have finally figured it out and have been going strong for the last few months.

Ron came out on our 9 mile run and took some pictures and that is what is below, but we are up to 10.5 miles now and going strong.  Our 9 mile run took about 1 hour 55 minutes, so we are right on track to meet our goal!

Kelly, Shandra, Debra and Dee

Note:  This is the first time ANY of us will be ahead of Dee...She is our fastest runner and just stopped for a bathroom break and is getting ready to pass us again!

Lisa 30th Birthday

My friend Lisa turned 30 a couple of weeks ago and we had the pleasure of going to her garden birthday party.  It was such a beautiful day and the party was so much fun!

Happy Birthday Lisa!
