Been awhile

It has been awhile since I have been able to sit down and actually write in my blog. Our adventures have been overwhelming and time consuming. All I can say, it is good to beable to sit down and write.

The newest adventure we have added to our house is the walk that Grace and I are training for. I think quite a few of you have heard about the fact Grace and I are training for the Helvatia half marathon. It was a good friend of mine, Jennifer, who put the bug in my ear about doing the half marathon. The choice to do this was the best thing I could have done.

Knowing I have to train at least every other day and that there are two people training with me has given me focus. I cannot get up one morning and say not today. Each day I have to make a concious effort to get out there and walk my miles with Grace.

Right now Grace and I are up to quite a few miles. Two days a week we walk 3 miles, and then run six sets of stairs at the Aloha stadium. Two days a week we walk 5 to 6 miles depending on our route. Then one day a week we are suppose to walk a long distance with Jennifer. Unfortunately our schedules have not been meeting so we are walking our long distance on our own.

This has been a good challenge for all of us. It is getting us off our bottoms and moving. The final date is June 12th. I will keep everyone updated on our progress as we "walk" up to our final destination.
