Jelly Making...

So the last two weeks have been a jelly/jam extravaganza at our house...

I had lots of Peaches from the Fruit Share I get...so many in fact I had to do something with them. 24 jars of peach preserves later...Yummy.

I also made 12 jars of Jalapeno Pepper Jelly.

The next adventure is Pineapple Habanero Jelly.

Daisy

I was informed that I haven't been doing a good job of keeping the old blog updated... So.. I did get the bike last summer: I also have managed to complete a few races since last October: Walt Disney Wine & Dine 1/2 marathon: Palo Duro 20k Heart of the Rockies 10k New Orlean Rock n Roll 1/2 Marathon Medi-help Sunrise Monster - South Africa

2011 Race Schedule - Possible

So here is the so called possible plan...as of today anyway.

Feb 13 - New Orlean 1/2 Marathon
This one should be interesting...seeing as how my training went to crap after my three in a row in October of 2010.

April 24 - Cheyenne Mountain 25k Trail Run
Maybe...Maybe not

May 1 - Fort Collins Old Town 1/2 Marathon

June 4 - Golden Gate Dirty Thirty
Does one do the 7-mile or the 12 mile??

Wine and Dine...

So my first 1/2 marathon back in the first weekend in October in Florida...

The Disney Wine & Dine 1/2

Here's to finishing in a wine tasting.

Paid off...

So now that the 4-runner has been paid off for a number of months...I have been thinking it is time to start looking into some new transportation...

I was thinking something along these lines...

Races...

Now that I am running again...not very far or fast yet, but running none the less...

It's time to set some goals (besides hashing)

1) June 26, 2010 - Slacker Half Marathon

2) August 21, 2010 - Warrior Dash

Always keeping my eye out for interesting and fun races.

Warrior Dash

So this race looks absolutely hysterical!!!

Warrior Dash

Where: Copper Mountain Ski Resort...

What: 3.27 Mile course with 12 obstacles from hell

How do I train for Warrior Dash?
1. Day one: run as far as you can. Go home. Day two: do the same thing.
2. Find the dirtiest pond in your neighborhood and snorkel in it - in your slippers, without goggles.
3. Practice your climbing and crawling skills at your local jungle gym. Ignore the small children and parental glares.
4. Do not shower or shave for weeks in order to obtain a true Warrior look.

Pop Tarts for Warm Feet.

So I have decided I need some warm, fuzzy wool house slippers from New Zealand. I should have got these when I was there last year...but I didn't.

I am currently working a deal to trade pop tarts for a pair of these woolies.

You see they do not sell pop tarts in NZ...and some Hasher friends of mine love pop tarts...

So let's make a deal!!! You have what I want and I have the PTs...

Happy New Year...

Let's hope I keep this thing up to date a little better in 2010.

See you all next year!!! Ha-Ha

Hello...

Hello??...

Tap tap tap...

Is this thing on?

No, I have not fallen off the planet, I have just been a busy living the dream and trying two-a-day workouts.

I promise to update soon with lots of stories about how my knee hurts, what I am doing about it, what races I have set as goals, where I am going in 2010, blah, blah, blah...

Stay tuned for the excitement.

New Fort Collins Hash Website...

So I have been working on the new Fort Collins hash website this past week...

It is all done...

Take a gander...

PETA...

So if you need any ideas for a gift for me...I wear a medium.

Tofu doesn't scream when you cut it...

I also would take the reusable shopping bag...to go to Whole Foods and by raw chicken!!!!

On-On to Hawaii

Time to blow this popsicle stand...16 inches of snow is enough for me.

Time for 86 degree, humid weather...island winds, sand in my toes, fruity drinks with little umbrellas...all starting tomorrow.

Upgraded to First Class baby...happy birthday to me.

BORDERLINE TALENT - PONG PONG

Tsunami

Well the earthquake in Samoa hit...and we got the wave action from it here in New Zealand. Luckly we were headed out of the ocean town of Napier...approx. an hour after we left the waves it...not very big about 1 meter at most.

We are safe and sound in Wellington now.

Australia...

Hanging out in Melbourne Australia for the nexyt couple of weeks...

Update...

Ok...I am trying to get this blog updated before I leave the country again...does Ames, IA count as out of country??? OK...Melbourne it is...

I will get the pictures of Singapore, KL, and South Africa from this spring up...
