Memorial Day, race, lake, a/c
Memorial Day was excellent, a very busy and yet relaxing day for the whole family.
Sunday we turned on our central a/c for the first time this year and realized it doe snot work. Hopefully that will get fixed today.
The race was ok though frustrating- the volunteers ran out of water at the second aid station and that made it very difficult since it was so darn hot out. Also, I had forgotten there were quite a few up hill sections of this race. Bacially, I got up early, drove to Elgin, ran the race, drove home, loaded up the car and then we all drove to Wilmette and spent most of the day right by Lake Michigan. J. collected lots of stones and seashells, N. pretended to make food out of sand, that she offered me, and we went in the water many times. The water was very cold, too cold to swim, but we cooled off. At night we all slept in the basement since it was so cold.
Sunday night I stayed up and watched 3 episodes of "Band of Brothers'- truly an excellent show, I might watch the whole thing again this summer.
I should find out today if my Dad was able to get those Sox tickets for July versus the Dodgers and (Nomar, Lowe, Billy Mueller).

Nice blog! Thanks for coming to visit mine - good to know that Planet Red Sox reaches to the shores of the Great Lakes and beyond! :-)
Glad to hear that you had a great weekend, sucks about the water at the race. So when is the next big test?
Hi Janice!
Well I have another race this Sunday, not much of a test it is only 3.1 miles. I need to find another long race and sign up for it.
