"Here we go again"

Two nights ago Brenda, Hillary and I signed up to be run as the "Sole Sisters" once again for the Baltimore Marathon Team Relay Race. I can already tell that this is going to kick me into gear for training as a team because I've actually wanted to get up and go running the past few mornings. It's back to the drawing board as for as distance goes. Put one foot in front of the other is all I can advise myself to do!
I'll keep you posted.
Gotta Run,
Reese

LaVern and Shirley

These are the names of my new shoes that are known as my step sisters.
So, yesterday I went to the local Falls Church Road Runner Sports Store to look for new shoes. And the clerk (bless her heart) told me that my current running shoes were and I quote,"A piece of Crap." After I hung my head in shame and agreed with her we started the process of finding LaVern and Shirley. Why those names you might ask? For some odd reason I find myself singing their theme song from the late 1970's show,"We're going to do it."
Whatever it takes to motivate and get moving. Last night the step sisters took me for a 6.2 mile run. And I could still breath at the conclusion of it.

Mallory is in her second week of school and loves it. Today was the second soccer practice for her team with only one more week until they get to play their first real game. I must admit that I'm looking forward to watching all of the soccer boppers clumping around the ball in a solid mass for the entire game. I'll be sure to bring a picnic that day so we enjoy dinner and entertainment.

Emily also began her Preschool this past Tuesday and had a nice time with her new teachers Mrs. Denise and Mrs. Ellen. I Look forward to Thursdays this fall when I'll go teach the music time to all of the classes. Westover Preschool's a great place to be.

Cleo looks forward to tomorrow when Miloki our boxer dog friend comes to stay for the weekend. The girls are thrilled and so am I.

Off I go to finish the book,"Breaking Dawn" I'll wait until I've completed it to give my very biased opinion of it.

Bethany Beach 2009

We just returned home from a wonderful week at Bethany with Family and some dear friends. Cleo even came with us and had the time of her life playing fetch, catching the frisbee, and running to find large pine cones.
It was very relaxing and entertaining to watch Mallory and Emily play endlessly on the beach. They soaked up the sea and the sun, while being completely enchanted with their surroundings.
A great time was had by all of us. And to all you you dear friends we wish you a Happy 4th of July week!
