Our off the Couch Weekend!!!

Friday Night -- Movie night. Now if I would have asked Matthew and Adam if they wanted to watch E.T. they probably would have said no - because other than the ride at Disney World - they have no idea who or what E.T. is. So, I had to be a little tactful - because I really wanted to watch E.T.
"Hey Adam and Matthew you guys want to watch a movie tonight? (YEAH) -- How about E.T. -- we can watch this with POPCORN and ROOT BEER."

They didn't hear E.T. all they heard was POPCORN and ROOT BEER! Yeah, I feel a little bit guilty... but the movie is awesome!! and now they think so too...

Saturday -- Melinda went for her long run (11 miles) -- that just sounds crazy to me. I don't even want to drive 11 miles on the weekend... But she did it -- was it cold - yeah, a little rainy - yeah. Should we have breakfast ready for her when she gets home -- Yeah!!
The sun popped out -- the kids were off to a birthday party -- and I was off to go Kayaking. What an awesome way to spend an afternoon -- in the middle of a lake with no one around -- very relaxing... Also, trying to cross the lake looks easy from the shore -- in a 9.5 foot long Kayak not so easy.

Sunday -- Got off the couch and out of the house at 7:00 a.m. to go run the Midlothian Blaze 5k. My goals were simple:

1. Show up
2. Finish
3. Run the 3 miles without stopping
4. Don't Come in last
5. Try to finish in 30 minutes

Well I got the first 4 done... But my time was 32:13. Hey I'm just happy I finished.

Next 5k -- American Family October 13
