Jennifer Ends 2014 Race Season With A Half-Marathon

What a year for races. Started the year with the 10 mile Mountain Goat, then Green Lakes sprint tri, Oswego Intermediate tri, Aquabike at Musselman, Delta Lake Intermediate tri, the I'm All That at the Skan Races (Skinnyman sprint tri, Escape From the Judge swim, 5K road race) and the finale of this epic year was today - the Empire State Half Marathon. Cold and windy but finished in 2:50. Now, time for a break before winter tri training begins

Air Show-Cleveland, Ohio Sunday-August 31st

Today Jim, Cathy, Josh and josh's friend Georgio attended the Cleveland Air Show. It was a beautiful sunny day and the demonstrations were awesome.

A Weekend With Addy-August 24th and 25th

Jeremy and Emily are going to rent a table at the Colton Flea Market tomorrow and they have to leave home about 5am to get there and set up so Jim and I took Addy for an overnight. It is always such fun to have her visit. The last time she was here we had some homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies and she thought they were the best. When she got her Saturday she asked for a cookie so Jim offered her some Animal Crackers But she wasn't interested. We showed her that the cookie jar was empty but she still insisted she wanted a cookie. Jim remembered he had a small package of Chips Ahoy so he offered those and then she was happy. The moral of this story is to always have some homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies on hand.

A Day At The NY State Fair-August 22nd
