Swimming

Lane and I finally broke down and got a membership at a local gym.. the major plus is that is has a swimming pool. I have my first triathlon next Saturday and have been really needing to swim. Lane and I went last night and it was like visiting with an old friend. As soon as I jumped into the pool and start that first stroke I fell back in love with swimming. Lane said he even enjoyed it. Swimming is the best work out that you can do.. Amy you should totally be doing it right now with the pregancy and all. I challenge everyone to get out there and swim you will surprise yourself what a good workout it is and how GREAT you will feel when you are done.

Call me Crazy

Well... I was hit up at Church today by a group of four guys running the Indianapolis Marathon in October. I know that it's a while off... but I am actually thinking about it! We'll see!

Team Blake

I just wanted to tell all of you how proud I am to be a Blake. You all did so awesome! Can you believe that it is already over?? We better plan for another race... who's in?
I also want to thank Bryce and Hal for tending the kids so we could race on Saturday you two are great! I love you all so much and can't wait to see you.

It's coming up!!!

Hey everyone, check out that countdown!! It is coming up right before our eyes. I'm getting so excited! Can't wait to see everyone and to be together again!! Just thought I would share :)

Go TEAM BLAKE!! Soon we'll all be racing right through this:

Power Walking

The past 2 weeks-ish, Bryce and I have been really trying to train hard core! I know, I know. We should have started earlier, but what can ya do? We have been kind of off and on, and then we realized -CRAP! The marathon is in like 3 weeks! We better get going!
During my training, I realized that I can not just run the whole time. Either I am just way out of shape or I am just not a runner. . . but it's ok. I realized that I am quite an excellent power walker! :) My power walk is just about as fast as my running. So don't be too surprised if you see me "power walking" a lot! It's just how I roll!
By the way pray for Bryce! Because I am so worried about him running the half marathon! He hasn't trained as much as last year . . . and I am just a freakin' worrier.
