I haven't been able to check this for a while (then I couldn't post because I had to sign on again and couldn't remember any of my password stuff and it was pretty much more of a headache than it should have been- but I'm back - aren't you all thrilled!)
To get you all up to speed on the Indy branch - I am still working out regularly with my friend Deedy - we would be up for a mini type thing (mainly walking though - we are not near up to the level the "training schedule" has us at - my body just doesn't "run"! ) We go everyday, but Sun. and do treadmill interval with 4 being our min speed and 5.5 being my max - I know that's a "whimpy speed" but it's all I can handle right now - and I think we're supposed to be up to 8 min of running with 1 min of walking for 3 times - HA! I think it ends up 3 min of running with 1 min. breaks and do that for half an hour.
So what am I doing wrong that I can't run for longer than 3 min? Is that okay - the "walk" part is a fast walk. Guess I just need to push myself? That's not exactly a character trait of mine, though! Maybe a race is the motivation I need to kick it up - was so bummed we'd miss the April one - but I see that there is a new race being held on May 17th up here - do you "Pros" want to check into it and see if we could all do it - I know nothing about them. I think there is info at www.geisthalf.com. Let me know what you think.
Anyway - Conner's CYO team plays in the final 4 today (Yes - on Super Bowl Sunday!)- if they win they go ton city finals on Tues. night. If they win that (a lot of "ifs") they would play for state down in CLARKSVILLE the next Sunday! Oh I hope they make it - it would be so neat if any of you could come. He doesn't play a lot - size does matter! ;-) but in the last game he got several rebounds and had 2 three pointers. The team has a lot of freakishly huge kids (bigger than Todd - no kidding) so their strategy is always just get it into the big guy - it works for 'em, but doesn't allow for a lot of "big moments" for a small point guard like Conner. But they are a fun team to watch - will be weird with them all going to diff. schools next year, they're a great group of boys.
Everyone else is good - Cam's CYO is done (got knocked out in Final Four) and Wyatt has been playing on a "Fieldhouse" team and starts OLMC in-house basketball this week. He made his first reconciliation last Sat. and breathed a huge sigh of relief after confessing all those 8 year old "sins". Cole is just "Cole" - he taught himself to do cartwheels after seeing his friend Olivia do them and now he cannot seem to go 5 steps without doing one - does them all the time -EVERYWHERE - apparently at one of the games I missed he was out there at halftime having the crowd cheering him on doing his cartwheels! I can't tell you how many people comment on how good he does them!
Love being able to keep in touch - good job on the tree removal! Let me know about this new mini. Thanks.

You're doing better than me. My jogging pace is your walking pace. Are you going to try to do the 10k March? I think I should be able to do the race in May. I'm still walking alot in between the jogging. You are doing better than you think.
Turns out that weekend in May isn't good for me...we are having Haley's birthday party then. I have to be there while she's still young enough to want me there. She's growing way to fast.
I can't believe she'll be 7 then ... Poor thing has Scarlet Fever right now ... which apparently is just strep throat with a nasty, itchy rash... sounds fun, huh.
