Kayaking, running, and warm weather, Oh MY!

Today, the weather men are calling for an extremely beautiful day with a high around 50 degrees!!  I am loving the beginning of spring!! 

On Super Bowl sunday, Chris and I went to his parents for a party.  His sister and sat and talked about babies, and how good Chris seems to be at about everything he does.  She then said "  you think that's bad, Doug (her hubby) can go out and run a half marathon , or a marathon without training",  Which I said "Yeah, I can do that, too" which she said, "yeah but you train all the time". 

Now there are a few problems here.  One of which, is that I don't think running a half marathon is that big of a deal.  I also don't think that Doug is that impressive, and it takes A LOT to impress me with running.  So while I was out on a run yesterday (after not running for over two weeks), I felt pretty goo.d .  And I decided to test my theory out to see if a half marathon really isn't that big of a deal.  So I ran 15 miles, on three girl scout cookeis (lemonades, to be exact) and half a glass of water.  I was only planning on being out for an hour or so. So I have proven my point to myself.  I have shared this with my parents and Chris.  This was STRICTLY for my own knowledge.  So I'm pretty happy.

So where am I with my goals?
Running - add another 15 miles.  I'm at 54 miles for the year
Biking I'm still at 75 miles. 
I am making it to my yoga 3 or more times a week.

This weekend, my dad and I went kayaking at the pool.  He's doing really well at learning his roll.  I think its so neat that he's trying this.  He'll have it in no time at all!!.
