So I do not usually like race back to back weekends, but these were close and we decided to run them.

Sound round 2? Same exact time! I guess this race was better  because last week was clear and flat. This race has hills and a 17 MPH cross wind (yes I looked on the weather channel... I am a dork) and that wind was against us a heck of a lot more than it was for us. So overall running I felt stronger this week later in the race and with the same conditions it would have shaved the time off I wanted. So time is the same with better performance....such is life!

 Aly turns 10 on Monday so went shopping this afternoon. I think kids should all get boxes as gifts. They play with them more than anything. That old furnace box we have got TONS of use.

 Got home and made some pan fried Tilapia with some noodles with a creamy marjoram/wine sauce. Secret to us for great Tilapia is not only a healthy amount of salt and pepper, but a nice coating of cumin, sprinkle some paprika on it too. Trust me, kids love it too. Okay so there you have cooking with Dan. I promise I will not do that often lol!
