HUGE surprise!

I got an email from Active.com last night and almost didn't open it, but it was labeled as "summer races in your area." Ok, I'll give it a look. What was at the top? WARRIOR DASH comes to NEBRASKA!! June 9 & 10. I signed up immediately, of course. Robin probably thought I was going insane, having a stroke, or both. I sent out urgent texts to my kids that I took earlier this school year. They're registered! Woohoo! I'm going to try to get more kids to go this time, since it's in the summer. The race is listed as Louisville, NE, which is the exit you take when going to the SAC museum, so I'm familiar (kind of) with the area. I'm sooooo excited!

I got 5 miles done on Friday, and I did my workout that my buddy sent me. I was supposed to do the Army PT test. I did ok. I wouldn't have passed, though. Not in a million years. I did 28 (the last ones probably shouldn't have counted) pushups, 102 crunches (not situps), and my 2 mile was 19:39. I was proudest of my 2 mile. I should be able to go faster, but since I've never actually timed a 2 mile before, it was a pretty good effort.

Cael's been having a rough time lately with not listening, and acting just plain crazy. We talked about it last night, and decided that all of his toys would be put away. We made a chart, and he has to earn 6 stickers to earn a toy back. This morning he got one for listening and getting through our routine without any hassles. Tonight, if he's good, he'll get another sticker. He might even get a sticker if he sat quietly in the gym instead of running around like he usually does. He was very proud to get to put the sticker on this morning. He also lost movie privileges, so he has to earn those back as well. It was a pretty smooth morning, I must say!
