We did it!

Eric, Paige, Ted, and I all finished the Akron marathon on Saturday in under 6 hours (the cutoff time) - and one of us (ahem "maybe I'll join you" Ted) finished well under that mark. Four days later we are still hobbling around but no longer needing ice packs strapped to us.
We have been in Ohio for almost one month now and here is the quick run-down:
Closed on our house and lived in it empty for a week until our stuff arrived.
Lost a tree, part of the roof and fence, and power for 4 days due to hurricane Ike.
Ate ox for the local high school football team.
Had visits from Mom and Dad (Myers) and McArthurs.
Ran a marathon!

Wow we have been busy - luckily Paige has been with us to help out. I'm sad that she leaves today.
We love our home and neighborhood and have great neighbors. I'll start posting more now that Eric officially has started work at the University and the home computer is free.

Haven't posted for a while- we have been packing everything we can into our last weeks in DC along with trips to Ohio (found a house!) and Oregon (we miss you Oregon!). More details to come but right now I've got to pack while the little one is napping.

Aunt Paige
Paigie is staying with us for the summer - it has been great to have someone watch our home and Molly while we have been traveling and Cadie loves hanging with her. I think they look a little alike.

Le Tour
The Tour de France started last Saturday! My fantasy team is doing very poorly, but I am enjoying watching the stages - we actually have cable this year.

Happy birthday USA
And Happy Birthday ERIC!

Cadie and I (E) visited family in Utah while Eric was in Vail for work and then we met up in Denver where Cadie got to meet and play with cousins Kaeden (2.5) and Issak (5 mths). It was great to be back in the rocky mountains!

Well, since E made provided a log, I thought I'd put one together too. Here's our travel log so far this year:
DC
Maryland
Virginia
Florida (airport only)
Puerto Rico (including the separate island of Vieques)
New York (airport only)
West Virginia
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Utah (E and Cadie)
Delaware (E and Cadie)
Vermont (Eric)
Colorado
Germany
The Netherlands
Belgium

My favorite place is Maastricht in the Netherlands, although the Rhine Valley was pretty impressive too.

Marathon Training Log:

Ouch!
Only three more long runs before the big day!
