Beer Shot

On my quest to become a part of our new community, I had decided to take up bowling.  Yep. Bowling.  I have to admit that I was rather nervous to join a league.  I wasn't very good (and am still not) and I was worried that I would bring my team's score down.  Turns out....nobody cares.  Some people care about their personal score, but nobody is there to judge and I've been having a really great time.

My husband and I joined a Scotch Doubles tournament a few weekends back.  That's where you both bowl as if you're one player, taking turns throwing each ball in one turn.  Well, we sort of sucked...or so we thought, cause we actually came in 4th place and won $80!  

Something happened during this tournament though.  Something that I will never ever forget and will probably never ever be able to do again.  I......got a beer shot!!  A beer shot is when you knock the 3 pins down (the two on each side of the headpin/front pin) and then knock the rest down in one turn.  It's not easy.  But....if you can do it, the bowling alley gives you a free beer!  I LOVE FREE BEER!  



This is how I did it.  Pretty wicked, right?!

So we did something fun!

So we did something super fun and scary last spring... we decided to move to our lake cabin full time !  Ahhh!  It's been very trying and very exciting and I think we're actually settled in out here.  Also, HI!  I know it's only been a short while since I posted last...errr...ok, it's been a year and a half, but priorities, right? So, yeah, downsizing...haha!  In 2 years, we've gone from 3800 square feet of living space to about... 750.  And, you know what? It's totally not all sunshine and rainbows, but it works!  Living at the lake and having all of these amazing trees around us is completely worth it.  The boys have settled into, yet, another new school and this school is the best one yet! Around the end of April last year, I came out to the cabin to clean up our holiday trailer so we could sell it.  I took a break, made a caesar , and sat on the front lawn with Duke in the small bit of sunshine that made its way through the ...

Week 2

Week 2 went well.  A few ups and downs.   How it went down: Monday : Swimming day....sort of.  I only did 25 lengths and then fell into the hot tub. Tuesday :  Awesome 3 mile!!  Ran it in my fastest time yet.  Legs were a bit sore, but I felt great! Wednesday : Great swim!  Went with a different friend and raced 30 lengths! Thursday : The plan was 5 miles, was goal was 6, reality was 4.  My knee wasn't feeling the greatest and I thought I best take it easy opposed to pushing myself for one more mile and not being able to do the long run. Friday : Rest Day! Saturday : 9 miles!  Went well.  Definitely need to look into energy gels and supplements.  The first six miles were amazing.  I was on fire!  Daydreaming of the big day and the entire world cheering me on.  And then I totally crashed.  Mile 7 was BRUTAL.  I jumped off the treadmill and rifled through my bag until I found a...
