We had a glorious weekend! It was our first real spring weather and it was amazing to be outside in the warm sunshine (I apologize to the Minnesotans...I do feel your longing). On the agenda for the weekend included the following...2 runs, a bike race and a soccer game. Otherwise, it was pure fun and freedom!
Flat Stanley
Flat StanleyWe were lucky to receive a visit from Flat Stanley this weekend. He came all the way from Minnesota and we enjoyed showing him around our neighborhood and teaching him about Montana. A highlight was a hike on Saturday night in the foothills behind our house where we saw our first buttercups of the season! Here's a great shot of our neighborhood with a view into the valley. Stanley will be traveling back to Minnesota soon and hopefully has great things to say about his visit.
Thoughts of Food
The marathon MADness continues. On Sunday my three girlfriends and I reached a near climax in our marathon training. The 18 miler. We have been running together for about four years now and our favorite part of the run is breakfast and coffee afterward. It took us a long time to find the perfect spot but now that we found it, it is just that...perfect. On this particular Sunday, my running friend and her husband met us all at this little joint and he kindly drove the four of us 18 miles away from the smell of frying potatoes. No biggie...just run all the way back with thoughts of food to pull you along. We made it, and the rewards were delicious!

Spring Soccer is HereRoo finally had his first soccer game as well as his first time in any real organized sport. He has patiently been waiting since his first soccer practice (or two years of G-man's playing) to have his first game. It all started after practice on Tuesday night. He carefully placed his uniform on the floor as he would wear it and declared that he was leaving it there so it would be ready for the game. Well, the game finally came, he put on his uniform and had a blast insisting that they would win because this one guy on his team is soooo good. They played great, he had fun and as he declared on Tuesday before his practice, "Mom, this isn't about G-man is it." No sweetie, this time, it's about you.

Yeah, yeah... we finally had "top down" weather today! Yay!! The stories are great, the photos even better. Keep it coming. I'm so proud of your marathon training! You've almost inspired me... almost.
So let's say Grandma's Marathon 2009?
When you sign up for grandma's, will you let me know so I can run with you too? Which one are you running this year??
You bet Steph! That's granted I ever do another one! This year it's Newport, OR.
