April Recap

Wow, it's May already. When did that happen and what happened to April?

Anyway, May's gonna be a fun month both running and with the family. I'll explain.

April Recap/Stats

Miles Ran: 75

Highest Mileage Week: 36

Long Runs Ran: 2 (10, 26.2)

Favorite run: Diamond Valley Lake Marathon on 4/9

Least Favorite run: There are no such things for me, I enjoy running and try to enjoy every run.

Most hardcore run: It doesn't get much more hardcore than a marathon, and then to run a marathon that is apparently for hardcore marathoners... well, that kinda makes the DVL Marathon a hardcore run.

Race(s): Have I mentioned I ran the Diamond Valley Lake Marathon?? I'm still and will forever be glowing in the aftermath of that race.

Current Reads: Am reading a couple of books on mountain climbing, maybe I'll blog about that

Current Shame-Inducing Guilty Pleasure: Playing a game on the girls' Nintendo DS. I blame Mrs. LB since she started playing it first. It's a puzzle game called Jewel Master. Addicting.

Current Obsessions: Playing board games (Dominion mostly, which is actually a card game). I blame my brother Danny.

Current Drink: Water. Agua. Wasser.

Current Song: Ready to Start, by Arcade Fire. That song's legit. Arcade Fire won Grammy for Best Album of the Year, and that whole album has for me lived up to such a lofty award.

Current Wish-List: To get my Sirius re-installed in my truck

Current Need: I need to register for a handful of races that I'm planning on doing here in the next few months.

Current Triumph: Having run Marathon No. 4.

Current Bane of my Existence: Bad drivers. I take the long way to places a lot around here because I go the less-traffic way because otherwise these bad drivers just irritate me. Grrr...

Current Goal: To get to averaging 40 miles a week.

Current Indulgence: Trail mix. I swear I never buy the stuff because I pop it in my mouth like candy.

Current Blessings: Yvonne and Kennedy, daddy's superstars.

Current Excitement: School gets out on May 26! Beach trips, bike rides, walks up Mt Rubidoux, trips to the library and - best of all - lazy mornings around the house... that's what the girls and I have to look forward to afterward. How can you NOT get excited about that??

Way to go for the month of April.

Your summer sounds relaxing. I request pictures of the LB clan on these outings please.

I love that you're still glowing over the DVL Marathon! Congrats again!

I agree with tahoegirl, I am so loving your summer plans with the girls!

Great numbers for April! I'm glad you are still glowing in your Diamond Valley marathon - you should be! Yeah for summer vacation and more fun time with your girls!

Great month!

This is a very off topic question, but I know your girls are duel immersion with Spanish and English- what would be the best tool to learn relevant latin american spanish, for someone like me who gets hung up on verb conjugation haha. Thanks in advance!
