Another Soccer Season

Lincoln wrapped up another successful soccer season this weekend. His team - the "Stompers" - were undefeated. This was his third season with the Stompers, and he's enjoying it more each time. Guy also really had fun getting out and about and playing with all the younger siblings (most of whom he goes to "school" with).

Trail Running

Last weekend, I did the Cow Pie Trail Run half-marathon in Loup City. It was the first running of the half-marathon and 2nd annual trail run supporting the Rebecca Adams Green Foundation (there was a 5K only last year).

There were about 30 people running the half, and the competition was fierce. The top three finishers had all qualified for and run the Boston Marathon recently. The day was perfect but windy, and by the end of the race, I was ready for some BBQ - and my finisher's cowboy hat.

The whole family was there to watch, and the kids enjoyed the hayrack ride. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a good run in Central Nebraska to mark your calendars for the Cow Pie Trail Run in 2012. I plan on being there - and being ready for the hills this year.
