I am a Bad Blogger....

I always whince at blogs that begin with the phase "I haven't blogged in a while" but I have been really bad lately and... egads! No blog entries since June! Well, anyway, I had a trip planned and while trying to do all the things you do before vacation, work stuff blew up, and a several City issues cropped up, and then vacation, and Voila'! I am a now a bad blogger. I have however, tried hard to keep up with the google reading list, and my training. I was able to get in most of my runs while on vacation, and even had an XT that is still making my calves scream. Have any of you tried to keep up with two 6 year old boys that are finally tall enough to slide on all the slides at BIG KAHUNA's in Destin? Thats 10:00am until closing at 6pm. Every slide, at least once. Every step, every pool, every long line, and in the sun, in my bathing suit(No sunglasses, hats, or anything on the best slides allowed!)
I am still drying out from the 15 mile run, but am glowing from it. My iPod Nike+ transmitter died out from the rain at about mile 10, when the ceiling caved in. Later that day, we were invited to a pool party/lunch at River Hills and they had a coin toss for the kids, and Charlie and Meagan couldn't swim down to the bottom of the deep in, so I came to the rescue. Apparently it is more than 50m deep, as my ironman watch went nuts and died, too. That would not be so bad, except that only a few weeks ago I went in to our neighborhood pool after one of my daughters friends that was bobbing up and down over his head with my keys/fob, cell phone, and my small digital camera in my pockets. He came up smiling and spitting and everything except the key fob was ruined. Cell Phone- I wanted a new one, anyway... Camera- still less than a year old.. Would Nikon fix it under warranty?? Well, kids are up, and need to go to camp.. I hope all is well with all of y'all... Thanks for letting me lurk these past few weeks!
