2008 70.3 Half Ironman Race

I'm getting ready for this race again at the end of May. As a result I have been spending a lot of time training and preparing for it. With all the training I have been able to get my weight down to the lightest I have been in a long time. In fact Kenny and I now have the same waiste size.

THis year I'm trying to break the sub 6 hour mark for my race time. Last year I completed it in 6 hours & 34 minutes. So I need to cut 35 minutes of last years time! Wish me luck!

I have attached a link below if you have any interest in reading about the race or course. This race will be held in Kona where the Ironman World Championship is held every October. In fact this race that I'm doing has a number of qualifying slots for the Ironman World Championship. Not that I have any intention at this point in my life of doing a Ironman. But if I have ever decide to do one someone please shoot me. :)

You can also track me on race day via link below.

2008 Ski Trip to Big White, Canada

This past spring break the kids, myself and a freind of mine took a 7 day ski trip to Big White Resort in Kelowna, BC. Canada. We had a fantastic time. I skied and the kids snowboarded. For Kenny, Erin & Ricky this was thier first time in cold weather and seeing snow never mind snowbaording in it. All of them did a fantastic job. I was very proud of all them Kenny & Ricky snowboarded 6 days straight. We took a lot of pictures so click on the link below. When Kenny gets around to editing and posting all the video he took we'll paste the link here as well so check back from time to time to check.

2007 Boston, Cape Cod & Maine Trip

Last summer the kids and I traveld to the East coast. We spent time north of Boston in Middleton, down at the Cape as well as in Maine. Erin and her cousin Krystle took a tour of Babson College, Boston College and few others. Erin is planning on attending college somewhere in Boston. Well maybe I want her to go there more than she wants too! :)

Here is a link for the Pictures from that trip.
