4 miles, then ab ripper

spent the day at wrightsville beach- perfect weather

buccanner #1 & his friend (I'll call him "Beavis") thought it would be fun to not wear any sunscreen all day.  I told them to put it on, i asked them if they put it on (they said yes, because they did...in a small X on their chest), reminded them to put it on again & told them to put on shirts when I saw they were getting red. 

They thought they were SOOOOO funny.

Took the in-laws to the Cape Fear River Trail and we all biked the 8 miles together.  Not really a trail, more of a paved path, but beautiful.  Some nice hills made it a good workout.

Finally got to run with Wyatt today.  Looking forward to her "Red Neck Olympics" birthday party bash on Saturday. 

MR rode the bike.

Rain, rain, and more rain.  Thunder kept me inside today.  In no mood to be swept away by a stray tornado coming through the area.

MR did the Kenpo X with me.  We had fun.  I love shouting along.  Walked the hood in the pm with the MIL.

Wanted to do 9.  At mile 7 my knee starting snapping again.  The first 3 times, I just kept running and it was okay after the initial shock of the snap.   After the 4th time, I had to walk.  Achy pain raidated up my quad.  That was around mile 8.  I walked 1/2 a mile and then ran the rest of the way home.  Felt good & thought the snapping was over until .05 miles from my house, and it started again.  Glad I've got the ortho appt on Monday.

I threw in the towel & did some upper body strength by raking dead thatch out of my lawn.   Got an awesome inner thumb blister!!  Not as awesome as my buccanner's 2nd degree burn blisters that opened up into weeping sores on his back from his terrific Monday at the beach.....but still awesome.

Now that the weather is warming up, I'm pleased to announce that there was plenty of fresh road kill to treasure on my run today.  Most notably were the  tortise and the hare.  Neither one of them are finishing that race :-)

After my disappointing knee troubles yesterday, I took a break today.  It was different having a Saturday not being spent/scheduled around a run.

In Laws have pulled out of the driveway & are off on their way.  It was a nice visit, but I got tired of hearing how "horrible, ugly, unhealthy, hurtful," etc,  family is.   I love my family; every last crazy sob in the bunch.  ;-)

Best part of the day:  RED NECK OLYMPICS.  Wyatt's b-day party supreme.  The cake was a single wide trailer with horses in the yard (mini choc chip poops under them), a rooster on the roof, and a toilet in the front yard with fresh roses in it.    We played relay games involving opossum tossing (blindfolded), digging up animals from the pet cemetery with plastic spoons, shooting at plastic police men with a bb gun (aka "pop the po-po"), and duck-hunting rubber ducks.    I can't wait for next year's games. 

I think I did run a little when it way my turn in the relay race, which somehow makes all of this relevant to this blog!
