Stronger, Tougher, Faster, Smaller

slow walk jog.  Couldn't stand a lot of movement due to biking injuries but at least my arm is most comfortable in a bent position.  Have a lot of work to do until I'm ready for Logan :)  But only 5 more weeks of school and I get all 7th graders next years. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hall le lu jaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Warmer weather means going greener :) We walked, kids in stroller-I pushed.  The five mile round trip to the library.  I was walking as fast as I could while pushing, cant rotate my body much do to my biking injuries still.  19 more day of school and I can have a little less stress and just start tackling the new year and improving my lesson plans.

 I think at the start of every unit I will give the students a list of all required vocabulary and the concepts that they will need to have mastered to be able to pass the test.  Anyone have comments on that?

 I am heading out tomorrow with Krash for 30+ bike ride.  Well whatever we can get done in 2:15 

22 miles biking.  It was pretty good but I was jumpy from my last accident.  Didn't want anyone or any thing getting close to me.  I got ran off the road once by a truck without a turn signal who was prematurely entering a turn lane.  And SHE was the one with choice words about me?!

5.5 biking.  fairly decent pace. I loved it, and no crashes this time.  It was the same course I biffed two weeks ago, and still have bruises and sore ribs from.  But no broken bones.  Hurray

8 miles on bike with family

Hurray for Churchill.  What a fun tradition, they have a 5k race every year and the kids can pay 2 dollars to get out of class and go run.  I walked with some other teachers at a brisk pace and that was rough up a couple hills.  Very enjoyable, we passed so many slackers and I mean a lot like 100 or more.  Man do these kids have no pride? I never would have been caught dead being passed by OLD teachers, WALKING!

 Afterwards the students could buy waterballoons to throw at the teachers and I willing stood in my assigned area but I didn't have very many people going after me, I was fairly dry.  Other teachers came out in ponchos, and umbrellas.  Pretty fun 

This is kind of a race report but I don't have a distance, all I know is we covered a lot of ground and I am tired.  5 hours of racing, jumping on trax, finding geocaches, getting all the clues, running up to the capital I am beat!

It was great fun and Churchill Jr. High won 40 gps watches to use in our classrooms.  A prize worth $8,000!!! 

The person they had marking the turn in the course didn't do her job, so a lot of people added a lot of miles to the run.

 But on the other hand the raffle was awesome, little giant ladders, bed n breakfast getaways.  Not bad.  had a great time. My mother in law got second in her division.  Natalie got 7th but her age group was 1-12, yeah, like that is really close in abilities with that age group. 

11 or so miles on the bike.  I think we estimated a bit on the low side just to be safe, Chris thinks high side but anyways we are close to that.  Fairly easy with a good climb up to the library, that reminds me, I have to go hunt down strawberry shortcake. "hello ho ho I'm here"

45 mile bike.   Utah fairground out and around lagoon, a few little more to add a few miles and back home. I am tired and I hurt. ooooooowwwwwww

about 9-10 fun easy miles around the airport.  We had some of chris' coworkers come with us.  Jen is a newbie and was riding a mountain bike, so we really got an easy ride.  It was fun.  2 more weeks until the 67 miler little red riding hood
