Easter Sunday

Today is Easter Sunday and Aimee's side of the family has been in town all weekend. In fact, this makes three weekends in a row of family! The last two weekends have been spent baby-showering and we have got to see my mom and sister both in Springfield then here in Farmington.


My last post was about our St. Patrick's Day Run in St. Louis and Aimee wrote an update on running while pregnant. Needles to say, we have stayed busy, and have not done much blogging during that time. Here are some highlights as we play blog catch-up.

End of March/Beginning of April: I traveled to Indianapolis for the National Science Teachers Conference and in addition to the many good seminars I attended, that I won't bore you with, I found some time to run (of course). Indy is what I call a "small big city" with everything close together and it was very nice and clean. There was plenty of greenway trails including several that connected to downtown. I am looking forward to going back there for the Mini 500 in three weeks.

March 19-25 totals: 37 miles run; .75 miles swim; March 26-April 1 totals: 40 miles run, 29.8 bike, .35 swim.

April Fools Day: I decided to run and bike St. Joe Park. I ran the 11 mile loop once and biked it twice. While on the loop, I saw the same woman three different times. The third time I stopped to talk with her. She told me she had just seen a Mt. Lion. I ask her what it was doing? She told me it was right back on the path between mile 7 and April Fools. Nice One!

This Week: Aimee and I have started swimming more as it is something "easier" for her to do while prego (not that anything is "easy" to do while prego). Yesterday we did a half mile! This is easy for Aimee, but for me it was a huge accomplishment. I cleaned my bike for the first time, it's been incredibly foggy this week, and our running group, Mineral Area Ridge Runners (MARR) is starting to gain more members at the track on Wednesday mornings! Looking forward to St. Louis Go! Marathon this weekend.

April 2-8 totals: 39 miles run, 11 miles bike, 1.2 miles swim.
