and off we go!

this morning i'll be spending time along the streets of racine, wi while hubby participates (dominates) in this. he's been training for months; swimming, biking and running and he's ready. 1.2 miles in the water. 56 miles on the bike. finish with a cool half marathon (13.1 mils). monster and i will be cheering him on and trying to come up with something to do in the hours he's out on the road! 

after the race we're heading up to my parents' place in door county for a few days of relaxation and rehabilitation! i'll be without internet while we're there but i have some fun posts set for while we're gone. i plan on returning rested, with a few more freckles & pounds of cherries!!

(yes that blur is the monster. it's her favorite place in the world too!)

in the spirit of the sunday morning race i leave you with this: 
therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame,
and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
