My training calendar test

Alex completed her first running event!

Congrats to Alex for finishing her first running event, the 2008 Cherry Creek Sneak 5k! We are so proud of you!

Big thanks to the kids for getting up early and for Rica for coming out to cheer Alex on!

100 miles with Nike +

I finally hit the 100 mile mark running with my iPod Nano and Nike+. Alex & the kids got me the nano for Father's Day. Its definitely been handy to track my casual running  over time.

There's probably better technologies out there, more techie with gps, etc. but this has been a pretty cool experience for me. I think Apple and Nike have done a pretty good job with the overall experience. Alex has been using hers as well and has been running longer average distances than me.

I think now that we have a treadmill to run in the winter, the next thing is to get a small tv down in the exercise room so we don't get bored running indoors... (I don't think the nano video will suffice).

Tonight, I hooked up the psp to the speakers built into the treadmill and watched Transformers. I ended up running 4 miles. A couple of nights ago, before refiguring out how to get videos onto the psp in the right way, I watched a video on the iPhone. While handy, both of these screens are a little small. I'm going to keep an eye out for an inexpensive 19" tv.... Hey, it's for our health, right?

The kids are going through changes...

Alessi's got an ear ache

In the last 3 weeks, all three kids have had croup, colds and coughs. Alessi just hadn't been herself lately, so Alex to her to the dr. today and she's got an ear ache.

What's amazing is how good natured she is about everything (well, most things). We were out and about most of the day today, but she hardly complained and was content just being held.

Allergy cards

I ran across this article on Lifehacker about a site where you can create allergy cards to present at restaurants. Alex and I were talking about creating these for ourselves, so we could remember what allergies the kids had. But this is even better.
