Mud Hero 2013

Yesterday we supported and photographed some of the obstacles in the Mud Hero run in Red Deer. Our daughter, son in law and great niece participated for the first time. The course was 6 kms along with 15 challenges. The course was held at the ski hill, snaked along the river as well as up and down the hills several times.

Lesley's time 1:17, Aaron 1:04, Kelsey 1:17

The reason Aaron looks so clean is he hit the showers as soon as he was finished. We are so proud of all three of them. Looks like this may be an annual fun race with Joe and I considering a try in 2014. 

Be well!

It was not the best weekend ever. I have gout so I don't drink beer except maybe twice a year and then it's only 1. Well I tried a new-to-me one that doesn't have preservatives. Tasted quite nice. Then mid way through my sleep I awoke with gas pains like you wouldn't believe. There seemed to be a huge bubble over my stomach. Tried Gas-X, bland food and some club soda but it took it's jolly time before I got some relief, mostly in the form of multiple baby burbs. Today I'm much better and no I won't be trying that again!

Yesterday once I was well on the mend, we headed out for a session of antiquing. We were hoping to stumble across a sporran but no such luck. However I did spy 2 EXQUISITE Brandy Snifters in perfect condition! We didn't have any so...we do now!

Today Is Day of a 2 month weight loss challenge with 5 others.  I'm so weak, I cave at the mere whiff of something baking in the oven!   Guess I'll just have to keep busy with activities that aren't conducive to snacking!!! I may not win but at least I will be more aware of what I'm eating and how much I'm not moving.  Did 35 minutes on the treadmill while watching my favorite music video!  WooHoo ME!!!! :)  TTYL
