Running update

September 22, 2006 - 9:51 pm No Comments

I’ve decided to get back on the horse and start posting my miles on here again. How else can I remain accountable, right? :)

So on Thursday, I dropped Erik off for preschool. It’s a 2.5 hour program. The preschool’s conveniently located right next to the Great Western Trail (where I ran the Great Western Half Marathon in the spring). Well, lemme tell ya, I did 6 miles and I cannot see how I ever ran 13. It’s been so long since I’ve done longer distances that I feel like a slug. Granted, I felt GREAT afterwards. I am not even too horribly sore today from it. Just a little in the legs, of course. It was a nice run. It was a gorgeous day, and I can’t wait to do it again.

There was just one thing missing. I sure could use a furry running companion (hint, hint…)

Day Out With Thomas and other new stuff

September 1, 2006 - 2:41 pm No Comments
Since we are all train nuts we had a great time, even though it was raining. Erik was really excited to finally meet the real deal. We went for a short ride, along with several thousand other screaming Thomas fans, and checked out some of the other exhibits at the museum. We finally got a chance to climb into the cab of an old steam engine. Neat stuff, and my dad of course was impressed with the engineering involved. Erik kept us on the move so we really couldn’t stop and explore as much as we would have liked. I’m sure there will plenty of time to do that in the future.
Day Out With Thomas 2006-009
Reading 4-6-2 Pacific-001 On the model train front, I was able to do some Ebaying and finally snagged myself another Steamer. The roster now sits at 6, I’m going to need some kind of shelf! Another MTH brand steamer, this time the Reading 4-6-2 Pacific. Again, another great buy from Ebay as this one was brand new. This engine has all the bells and whistles like the other ones, and has passenger station sounds. Now I’m in the hunt for some matching passenger cars.
