Last Sunday.
Wednesday, May 2, 2012 at 02:02PM Last Sunday, I ran my final long run (12+ miles) before the half marathon this coming weekend. With that run, I passed 250 miles for the year. I rock. ;) (I don't mean to toot my own horn but have gotta say that I'm pretty darn impressed considering that a year ago I was still working on running more than 3 minutes at a time, lol.)
Also on Sunday, we went to Fort Collins' awesome annual Kite Festival. We've gone once before, three years ago. This year's was definitely better thanks to some beautiful weather. Asher and Noah quickly set to making their own kites (the organizers have this down pretty well and it's stinkin' fabulous how easy they make it). Asher debated what to draw and ended up adding a number of things that represent his interests (a compound bow, an iPod, some targets...). Noah immediately went for, well, the obvious:
;)
Yup, the boy simply drew the Apple logo on his kite. The volunteer tying strings to the kites recognized it right away as the first iKite she'd seen that day. ;)
(Micah, btw, opted not to make his own kite, preferring to run alongside his brothers and watch everyone else fly their kites. He was happy.)
Asher had some serious fun. The boy just ran and ran and ran to keep that kite in the air:
;)
He grasped that he could get it up and then stand in one place and let out the line like Noah was doing. He just preferred to run. ;)
And after we finally tired those boys out, we got some food from the vendors and ended with sno cones. Pretty darn great way to spend a good chunk of our afternoon. ;)

Oh! That looks like SO much fun! We will have to go one year. Love the iKite :)
Fun! The boys' approaches are so typical of each of them!
I can totally love your running progress! I am trying to take up running (by trying I mean I'm looking for a double Bob jogging stroller on Craigslist and I tried on all my old excersise Clothes) . I may need to buy new running shoes :( since my feet grew during this last pregnancy, but I'm trying my old ones before scrapping a $50 investment.
