encouraging

i got out on the ice age trail yesterday for a nice 1hr8min run. the route was starting at my house and finishing at the big dog park where i met my lovely family. the only significance the random 68 minutes of running has is that i did the same run (only a bit shorter) in over 1:10 in june. i wasn't trying to run any faster so i guess i'm slowly improving.

we had a great weekend. we were able to do a lot outdoors including our first trip to the outdoor pool. it is a really nice pool at the jewish center just down the road from us. the pool is salinated and is situated in an idealic setting in the hills surounded by pine trees. much better than city swimming. we also did some hiking, walked around downtown and by the lake, watched the tour (weird tactics yesterday) and did our regular house chores. we even hired a babysitter friday night and went out to dinner with some of robin's coworkers. all in all, a classic summer weekend.

happy monday.
