Dan & Kate’s party
Saturday, July 26th, 2008There was a party for Dan and Kate going away to Boston. We know they’ll be back.
Intervals
Friday, July 25th, 2008I started doing intervals two times a week. It’s completely horrid. I just snagged two intervals to do from Joe Friel’s blog. I was planning on doing this for 3 weeks total and then switch over to different types of intervals.
Wednesday is a 5 sets of 3 minute sprint/3 minute recovery. Friday is 3 sets of 5 reps of 20 second sprint/ 40 second recovery. This is one set of 3×20/40.
Biking
Monday, July 21st, 2008Before the mtn bike race on Monday I rode out Skyline to Germantown and up Kaiser before going back to Germantown and PIR. THe course looked like lots of fun, minus the little kiddies.
New poptop for van
Saturday, July 19th, 2008We finally got around to taking the old musty pop top from the van and installed the new 3 window deluxe non moldy tent. It took about an hour to get the tent off, and about 6 to put it all back together.
Softball
Monday, July 14th, 2008After SF Ingrid had a softball game over in Westmoreland. It was uber hot and all the spectators were sticking to the shade like cockroaches. They won 11-10.
San Francisco
Monday, July 14th, 2008Over the weekend Ingrid and I went down to San Francisco to visit with Moo, Alex and Susa. Moo was in NY and flew over for a few days. We got in some quality bed jumps, some HORSE (where I lost both times), and great food.
4th July
Saturday, July 5th, 2008We went down to Gearhart for the 4th again. The rest of the family was there and Trey made some carmel corn with peanut butter. A sure sign the diet was on hold. The parade wasn’t as exciting as last year, but that’s because we didn’t get any candy. The F-15 flyover was cool though, it was about 150′ above us as it did a few banked turns. So maybe the parade was more exciting than last year.
We went down to the ocean to look at the fireworks and the fires. We decided to leave when one group fired their fireworks into the grasses near the beach. Next time I’ll have to bring the tripod down so shots aren’t so hazy looking.
I got a tattoo.
