Avoiding the Heat

This weeks theme is avoiding the heat.  We're gonna work on projects in doors, try to get our runs in during the wee morning hours or the late evening hours, and watch a lot of Lost.  We started plowing through it a year ago, got through season 1 and then got busy.  This past week we finished season 2 and got about halfway through season 3.  My guess is we'll be through season 4 by the end of the week.  Enjoying it very much so far.

The rest of the to-do list this week is really light so we should be able to relax in the air conditioning during a week that is supposed to see heat indexes of 110 or worse.

Have a good week and stay cool.

Coasting Along

We finished up painting and changing out the hardware in the house!!!   We had some friends over Thursday night for a BBQ after the Bix @ 6 practice run, and more friends over on Saturday to run the 4 mile night race in Eldridge.  Overall it was a very relaxing week and it feels great to have our projects completed. 

Well almost completed....  We still need to pick a color for the 2nd floor hallway, but we are going to hire someone to paint it since the stairwell wall is 20 feet high.  The rest of the summer is going to be devoted to marathon training, some bike riding, the occasional yard work and few fun trips. 

We're having a BBQ on July 30th for RAGBRAI/Bix since they are both happening in Davenport on the same day.  We're heading to CR Kernels baseball game with the fantasy baseball leagues on a Saturday in August.  We have a couple of family reunions to attend.  My siblings are planning a family trip to St. Louis in August, and then we are going to makeup or canceled skydiving trip and do another sprint triathlon at Hickory Grove Park, and the Iowa Hawkeye football season will be here.  This will be our lightest summer ever for travel/events. 

Have a great week everyone!
