Countdown Begins: 5 days and counting, plus weekend report

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Counting down to my first 'official' 5K on Saturday.  Ran yesterday morning on a very up and down course and probably didn't actually end up running for 5K as a result, but I sure got in a full workout.  But still feel good and ready for the race.  Changing up my schedule this week to run Tuesday and Thruday mornings so I have Friday off for fresh legs, but not taking 2 days off either.  I am really looking forward to this.

Camping

So we had our great adventure this weekend.  We ended up going to Pueblo Resevoir for the weekend rather than up in the mountains, and weather wise that was a wise decision, because we had enough weather in Pueblo I can only imagine what the mountains were like. 

We all agreed the weekend was a success.  The kids had a good time.  We had a good test of our organization and planning.  And a good test of what our new tent can handle weather wise.  Last, the dogs all got tested and handled it well (Spotty was definitely better than I expected, although she was seriously worn out).  I hope to get pictures uploaded one day this week. 

Friday night was not very restful due to a major windstorm, so we didn't get to do as much on Saturday as far as taking the kids for any walks or hikes.  But I did take Spotty for a few walks, and Sunday morning I got up and did my run.  Which was good, although not a level run by any stretch so I ended up walking some of it. 

Sports

Totally missed the USA World Cup game, but in the World Cup Group round a draw is as good as you can hope for in some cases so I was pleased with that result.  As for the NBA, yes the Celtics won, to take the 3-2 lead, but now it's home to LA and I fully expect the Lakers to take at least Game 6 as a result of that Home Court advantage.  But from reading the descriptions of this series and looking at box scores this is about as boring a series as the Detroit - San Antonio one a few years back.  So I am defintely doing myself a favor not watching it.
