For the last couple of years I have been talking about training for and running a 5k race. I have started training (Couch to 5k)in the past and kind of twittered out as winter rolls in and it starts getting COLD in the mornings. This year I started training earlier and while this is only my 2nd week training I have come a long way in that time. It feels great! My plan is to continue to run even in the snow...lol..we will see how that goes! This morning I ran on the track with two other ladies. If I see them tomorrow when run I will ask them if they plan on running during the winter months, and if they do I will see if I can join them on my days for accountability. One of the first couple of times to the track, Kaitlyn was running around with a little boy right around her age. His dad was waiting for me when I came around from one of my laps and told me that she has potential to be an awesome runner. He also told me about the Boulders All Comers Track and Field Meet. We are going to try and make it to the last race, but now that I think about it, Bryan is suppose to be working the Democratic Convention here in Denver and I think it is the same week. Since we only have one vehicle, that is not going to be possible. Kaitlyn will be disappointed! UGH!! Anyway, since then both of my girls love coming to the track with me and running. At first I thought it would be Mommy time to get away and get in my training, but the girls are old enough now that they don't stop me from running like they have in the past and they want to be able to do the track meet next year. I actually took the camera with me on Tuesday and got some good pictures. Kaitlyn got one of me running, but Bryan had called me and I was panting to him on the phone..the picture does not look very appealing! LOL I guess Bryan deleted it because it is not in the pictures I downloaded. Oh well, there is always next time. Here are the pictures:

Today was the first day of many I hope, where we put the childrens desires above our own. The girls have been asking to play Monopoly for days and today we finally sat down and played. Then the kids went outside to play and Danielle came in and asked if we could go to Webster Lake, both Bryan and I really did not feel like going, but we packed up a lunch and headed over toward the lake. It was a really nice visit. I think the kids enjoyed themselves, although they wanted to stay longer. Bryan had set up a time to get together with some friends so we had a time limit at the playground. Here are some pictures from Webster Lake: 
After we got back and Bryan left the girls and I went swimming. We have spend a lot of time in the pool this summer, but this is the first pictures we have taken. I got some fun pictures of the girls in mid-air. LOL Kaitlyn and Danielle are very comfortable in water now. Melody is comfortable hanging on to me, but she is asking to be in the water more and more without her wings. We have those diving rings and we will put them in the water, let them sink and shove her underwater and she will swim down to the bottom and get them. They love doing this and will do it the whole time if I would. LOL
