I took March 2nd off to spend the day with Gayle on her birthday. We enjoyed eating out and going to a movie later. The next day, Saturday, there was some fresh snow, so Alicia took the girls tobogganing at Old Main Hill. Here the girls are in a parking area near Old Main hill.
Sitting on the toboggan (and McKel ready to eat more snow).
The cool temperature really made McKel's cheeks redden up. It's great to have snow clothes!
Avril is growing up so fast. She loves to have fun in the snow.
Earlier today, Saturday, March 10th, Alicia ran a 5K at Skyview in Smithfield. It was called Spencer's Sprint, for a young boy who had a heart transplant. It was a fund-raiser for the family. The weather was clear and sunny, but it started around 9:00 a.m. so it was still pretty crisp. Later in the day she got a road bike so she can ride with Trish in a cancer ride later in the summer. This same afternoon Alicia and I rode up the Logan Canyon so she could do a 25 mile training ride. We got about 9 miles up and my tire started going seriously flat. So we turned around and eventually Gayle had to meet me just below the trail head to the Stokes' Nature Center with a pump. Ali then went on to finish about 25 miles and I tried to go a bit farther as well, but didn't get a full 25 miles in before the tire went low again. I was on a mountain bike, by the way.
Ali at the end of her 5K. Her iPhone goes everywhere she does. In fact Gayle texted her and she responded while she was running! It is also an iPod, of course, so she listens to music when she runs or cycles.
A shot to show the finish line area and some of the crowd.
And this shows the snowy Wellsville Mountains and the pretty day.
You should always replenish your nutrients with something healthy after a race!
