Run For The Zoo…

angieLeave a comment

Here is my report for this morning’s race:

It was a beautiful morning! Cloudy up until I hit the finish line. We ran right thru the middle of Lincoln Park Zoo. It was a little crowded in parts of the zoo but I was able to manage to run thru it. My time was under 32 (or 33) minutes. 😯 I can’t remember which because I was so focused on crossing the line before the timer hit 32(33):00, that I truly can’t remember the time. I want to say under 32 min though. I will check tomorrow for my official time (we were wearing championchips).

ETA on June 5: I finally checked to see my official time. 31:31!!! OMG! I can’t believe it!!! Yay!!!

Afterwards, Diego ran his Kangaroo Hop race. Came in last! But he got a really cute medal so it was worth it. 🙂

Happy June…

Wow, it is the first day of June. We are almost half way thru the year already. I can’t believe how fast the time is going.

Well, we have officially started planning Diego’s party. The date is July 29, 2007. The venue will be at the Labagh Woods, grove 2 to be exact. This is the exact spot that I had my family baby shower two years ago. It will be nice to go back. The theme will be Blue’s Clues. Need to get my booty moving to get this planned.

There is only a problem with July 29: I have my 10K race that morning at 8 am. I am not going to think about how tired I will be at the end of that day. Eck!

Elkhart, IN…

It was fun. My brother and his family moved there last year. This was our first outing to his new house. It was a blast. My parents, my other brother and his kid and my aunt and her family also went. It is a two hour drive from Chicago. It is a nice drive.

My brother had told me to bring a bathing suit but did not mention that they had a pool. Very nice!

Diego was prepared. I had gotten Diego some swimming trunks and swimming diapers. He looked really cute.

Diego also enjoyed his time on the trampoline. He loved jumping on the trampoline
And he loved running on the trampoline, too.

The food was yummy! Grilled skirt steak, hot dogs, salads, roasted corn, cookies and cake.

We had to bail out early. Diego did not and would not take a nap. The minute the car was started, Diego knocked out. We thought he was going to sleep thru the drive but no luck. After an hour, he was awake. We got home sometime after 7 PM. He did not go back to sleep until 8:45 PM. Now it is my turn.

Night, night!

Softball Season Has Begun…

Softball season has finally begun. Eric is the coach for this co-ed softball team. They play on Tuesday nights. This is his 4th year. He wanted to retire last year but his team really likes him so he didn’t.

They played their first game today. They were down initially but they were able to get out of the hole and won, 10-8.

I went home and picked Diego up so we can go watch the team play. Diego had a grand old time as always. He was filthy by the time the game was over. The dirt on the field was all over him. His hair felt like he had a can of hairspray in there. Not giving him a bath tonight but definitely tomorrow morning.

Overall, it was a great first afternoon of softball.

Cloth Diapering Part Duex – Night 5

I can say this diaper rocks! After drinking lots and lots of liquid last night, Diego woke up dry. I am in heaven. The only thing is I have to figure how tight I need to have the thigh snaps snapped at. This morning he woke up with red marks on one leg. Right now I snap them on the second snap closest to his skin. I may just do the first one and see if that helps.
