Taste of GR 2010
We’ve always been curious about the Taste of GR event, and this year we made it down to check it out. It is held in John Ball Park, right by the zoo, and I saw on my way home from work that it was packed! We took advantage of the fact that Kevin’s Dad lives [...]
Jello to Bricks
That’s what my legs felt like this morning! Kevin did a 12 mile run this morning, and I tagged along on the bicycle/concession stand on wheels. Just as we were nearing the halfway point, he sprang the idea of doing my very first brick workout on me. I don’t know if it was the 82% [...]
B-DoubleE-DoubleR-UN: Beer Run!
Kevin and I have officially participated in our first Beer Run! Unlike the normal use of the term, this did not involve driving to the store to restock on libations mid-party. Oh no. This involved actual running. Then beer. I wasn’t too thrilled about the beer part, to tell you the truth. But, I figured [...]
The Berry Best
Since we didn’t go strawberry picking this year, we decided to go blueberry picking instead! In my quest for an organic blueberry farm, I found Irvine Blueberries online. I was instantly impressed with their website, which included a “daily update”… pretty snazzy! (Most u-pick sites I’ve perused haven’t been updated in months or even YEARS, [...]
Going a Little Batty
No, there aren’t any bats in the belfry, but up until about an hour ago, there was a bat in our house. Yes. You read that correctly: A bat. In. Our. House. Yuck!!!!!!! Kevin was having trouble sleeping early this morning due to a nasty sunburn. He was reading in the living room when he [...]
In Celebration of 5
The morning of our anniversary dawned clear and gorgeous! Blue sky, puffy clouds, warm but not too hot temperatures. It was almost a carbon copy of our wedding day. How perfect was that for our anniversary?? For a multi-sport athlete, or at least the one I live with, there is no such thing as a [...]
Swim, Bike, Run, Go to Holland!
Saturday was a busy day that had us up early for Kevin’s 3rd Tri Del Sol at Camp Manitou-Lin in Middleville. This is always a fun one because this race was Kevin’s very first tri ever; so it always feels a little sentimental, going back to where it all began. Sigh. Ok, enough with the [...]
Manic-Depressive Triathlon
On June 6, Kevin completed his first triathlon of the season… and what a manic-depressive race it was! Manic in that he had a huge PR, depressive in that the weather just did not cooperate. Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? We headed over to Monroe on Saturday afternoon. The race was taking place [...]
Hello, Memorial Day Weekend!
Memorial Day Weekend, I’m so glad you’re here! The calendar says we have a few weeks to go until summer, but I don’t believe it. To me, this is the official start of summer! I need no further proof than the absolutely gorgeous weather we’ve been having! Steamy 90s earlier this week, freaky summer storm [...]
Would You Like Fries with That?
What has been happening with this weather? Sunny and warm during the week, and cold and rainy on the weekends. What is wrong with this picture? This weekend saw momentary breaks in the rain, though. And momentary was all we needed. We took full advantage of a break in the rain showers to hit the [...]
