Like I said, we were very lucky. The older parts of town got hit even harder.Saturday was Little RazZDoodle's party. Cake, ice cream, and some obnoxious kids. Pretty much your typical kids party. Earlier in the week, our daycare provider/sitter offered to make us a cake. They were finishing the cake when the storm hit. They still managed to finish the cake by using generator power. They said that they didn't want to trouble us by having us go to our grocery store and pick up a generic cake. Are you freakin' kidding me??? It was a great cake and a cool story to tell the little guy later on.
Long run (7 miles) was yesterday. That, in and of itself, was nothing spectacular save for the fact that it was a completely new route. We went down to visit my in-laws and I decided to run on a trail that was about 1/2 mile from their house. Always nice to shake things up a bit for a run, especially a long run!
This week's focus in the marathon training will be nutrition. I'm doing OK with it, but it could be a whole lot better. A double cheeseburger at McD's was probably not my best choice this Friday. Nor was stealing my daughter's fries. Nor were the Milk Duds. Nor the popcorn with butter. Nor WAL-E. You get my drift.
Today was Day 1 of the Hundred Push-Ups Challenge. I thought I'd give it a try. I have 6 weeks to kill.
My next focus is to have a post that is somewhat interesting, introspective, and/or humorous. Whichever comes first.
I have the kids this week, so we're off to the zoo. The perfect babysitter! (insert joke here). With any luck, I may take the 4 year old to the Olympic Swimming Trials later this week.

Glad to see you didn't have more damage in Friday's storm. This morning I heard 100 mph winds! My son is a camp counsler between Fremont and Omaha, he took cover AGAIN!
What a great daycare provider...Sounds like a good weekend
And now you with the pushups? Crap. I have to get going on that.
My brother seemed to escape without too much damage. He's out around 178th. Glad you did as well. Sounded pretty nasty.
Take care.
Just surfing and thought I would say hi. When training for the marathon last year the more I decided to "focus on nutrition" the more I actually ate at McDonalds. Strange coincidence huh? I am also well aware of the impact of a night at the movies on your diet (whether training or not!). Its all worth it in the end though ;)
Let us know how the nutrition goes, definitely something I need to get a handle on. Too much McDs too.
If it took all night and they had to belt themselves to a drain pipe, I would hope the cake would get finished. I admire their dedication.
Wow, it would have been a terrific workout to run against the wind. Just kidding. Don't take my advice but the pictures are incredible. Glad to see you okay and you have not sustain any severe damage in your area.
That would be awesome to see the swimming trials!
Those winds are hurrican strength! Glad everyone's okay!
I'm really glad you and your family are okay!
Also, that hundred pushups thing looks cool. Though probably something I'll give up on/forget about after a week.
Good to hear that you and your family made it through the storms ok. That is just amazing that they were able to get that cake done
Crazyy storm!!! Glad you didnt get hit too hard.
You're trying to do a hundred pushups? I can't do one? Can I aim for 10?
We had a crappy storm that night as well, but no where near as bed as yours. That's what we get for living in the midwest. Every time the tornado sirens go off, I have to listen to the wife tell me "we're moving". Glad to hear you escaped with 'minor' damage.
My little one is 18 months. I DO NOT look forward to the birthday parties. Not only will she have them, but we will have to go to all of her friends parties...ugg.
Glad to hear you all are okay. Scary stuff, those storms.
