Events of 2009
Lars and I sat down the other night to figure out which events we wanted to partake in for 2009...mainly so I would know how to train.
We have different styles, Lars and I. I like to be overly prepared, know exactly what I'm getting myself in for and train hard. Last year Lars decided to lose the 25 pounds he packed on in the summer/fall of 2007, and started January 1st 08 with no plan other than getting in shape..it worked, within 2 months he was back to his normal weight and regaining endurance and strength he had lost. So needless to say when he decides to do a race he sticks to his normal works outs and just goes balls out during the race and does great!
So this is what we came up with:
February 22nd Chilly Hilly (our 2nd chilly hilly!)
March 28th Wenatchee Valley Du (this is tentative)
April 4th kids Ridge 2 River
April 18th Wenatchee 1/2 marathon (Jenni)
April 19th Ridge 2 River (Lars)
May 23rd Mazama Fun run 10k (great swag for all) besides Lars won and entry last year for this year
June 20th Lance Armstrong Challenge 100 mile ride (tentative)
June 27 Seattle Rock and Roll 1/2 marathon
July11 Seattle to Portland (STP) in 1 day this year
August 22 Apple Capital Tri (haven't decided which event)
This is as far as we got, I know Lars will sign us up for something in September and October..should be fun!

Weekend Fun!!
What were we up to all weekend? Lots of skiing! I had a real treat on Friday, Erika went up with me! I had so much fun, skiing and chit chatting, we HAVE to do it again soon! Next time I will take my camera up...for proof that you went!
Saturday Lars and I dragged our butts out of bed for spin class (nothing like massively sweating at 730 in the morning!) Then at 11:30 Luke had an hour and a half skate lesson, Logan chose not to go and instead went to stay with Janet...where she reminded her it was about time to start thinking of her birthday.
This was great for Lars and I, we were able to do 2 full loops (16km) at the hatchery during Luke's lesson.
Our reward would come later that night, we met with our wine group. Last year we did varietals, this year we've moved on to the regions of Italy. Last night was Tuscany, so we enjoyed 2 very good Brunellos, one Super Tuscan and one Chianti Riserva....all to my liking! Good company, good food and good wine..what a great way to end the day!
Lo again decided to stay home..this time she went to my parents and got to play with Callahan, who is here to celebrate Grams and his moms birthday tonight!

Sunday afternoon brought more skiing. We took Luke up to the golf coarse to practice his skating skills. He did so good! This was his 3rd time ever skating and he was able to master both the inside and outside trail there..with out falling...and going at a decent speed. It made me wish I had learned when I was that young!

They are two of a kind!
Sunday morning was a real treat for Obie. I met Becky and Ben (shown in the picture), and Sarah and her dog Chloe, not really bright, but early Sunday morning for a hike up Saddlerock.
They were so much fun..I think Obie fell in love with Chloe, I tried to get a pic of all 3 together but it was just way too exciting! Ben does wonders for Obies confidence!

Outdoor Activity Overdrive (OAO)
So the winter is proving to be pretty good despite the lack of snow in the valley. Here's the thing for those that like to get exercise outside this weather, and conditions are great! I am once again commuting to work on my bike (a cyclo cross), the roads are clear for running and cycling, and the Nordic trails in Leavenworth (especially this last weekend) have been amazing given the lack of new snow. Needless to say I am exhausted!
No school on Monday so I took Luke up to try out skating. He rocked! Lars and I pretty much just skate now and Luke is so laid back he was all for trying it. I think he's hooked!
I am so proud!
Sunday at the golf coarse, our friends right behind Lars
Out on the trail. On the weekends we usually go to the Golf Course if its open, a lot less people, great skiing, eagles and deer..can't beat that!
