MAYhem Highlights

Here’s how May shook out:

Miles run: 72

Miles biked: 80

Races: 4: 2 halfs, 2 5k

Hours skated: About a billion I think

School events attended: 7

Biggest challenges: Not forgetting anything and eating well on the go.

Notes: Running mileage this month was the second lowest for the year so far. Maybe due to the races but mostly due to the skating, school events and other obligations that made May especially chaotic.  Plus I’m pretending I’m on a break since marathon training ramps up later this month.

After months of rehearsals, our 3 end-of-season ice shows finally happened over the weekend.

This was Thing 2's first ice show. She. Was. Petrified.

Thing 1 was her usual, confident self. I've lost count of how many shows she's done.

 

 They both ended up 3 for 3 on perfectly skated shows! I am so proud of them and everyone who worked so hard.

 A million thanks to Char for coming through in the clutch and making these duet costumes and sending them all the way from Australia! They were a huge hit and looked stunning on the ice. Some may question the concept of cyber friends. I know for a fact that they are very real and truly wonderful.

June is a nutty month as well. We’re winding down the last few days of school this week then it’s RAGNAR RELAY MADISON TO CHICAGO for me this weekend! I am beyond excited! Have you ever done a relay?

  1. they look so cute!
    I did the rouge orleans ultra relay in feb, 6 girls, one van, 126.2 miles, I ran about 21 miles over 5 legs. It was CRAZY!

  3. Wow is Char talented! Those are beautiful! And clearly they worked for your girls–congrats to them and you.

    Have fun at Ragnar. I am doing my first one this Sept (DC). I can’t wait!

  6. Your things look adorable and good job to the Mama and raising some stars!!

    I have never done a relay – I’d be too nervous to disappoint anyone if I were slow! Yikes!

    Good luck – I would be boiling over with excitement!

  7. I love seeing dance recital/skating show costumes! And I know that feeling when your kids perform–it makes you just swell right up with pride. Watching my kids succeed is WAY better than the feeling I had when I had success (which wasn’t very often… lol).

    No relay for me yet–someday!

  10. your girls are gorgeous! congrats to them! enjoy ragnar! relays are my all time fave!

  13. You have such a beautiful family! Congrats to them both for 3 for 3 and for looking so beautiful while doing it!

    Have a blast this weekend at the relay! SO JEALOUS!!!

  17. Congrats to both of your girls for doing such a great job on their show. You have to be so incredibly proud.

  18. Thing 1 is beautiful. Thing 2 is adorable. and Those costumes are gorgeous. Such talent all around!
    Congrats on surviving May!

  21. Sitting in the SFO airport waiting for my flight and your post was the first I had to rush over to so I could get more pictures of the girls. Congratulations to them, that is fantastic. I bet they were beaming (and still are) and well as one super proud momma!! So happy for them! 🙂

  23. Adorable “things”!
    Char is a very nice friend.
    A very good May; 4 races are impressive!
    I ran only 1 relay long long time ago, July 25 1986, my leg: 2.4 km (1.5 m) in 9:28.
