The Triathlon




Last year I joined Mike in his yearly triathlon tradition. It is a sprint triathlon but still a great motivation to keep in shape during the year. This year we survived again! Here's some pics:

I am extremely impressed!!! My treadmill sees action only a few times a week and never goes beyond 2.5 miles.

I need to get on your fitness plan. Ya'll should do the MS150 with us this year- if we ever start training. We could have a team Hofhiens. I'm waiting for the doctor to tell me I can't start riding my bike again. I'll probably get back on and brake my other elbow. Marc said that he'll get me a pair of training wheels. I think that and a pair of elbow guards might cover it. I don't think I could look any dorkier than I already do in spandex shorts.

Quick thoughts

So I'm finally up with the times and have my own blog. You'd think if someone was a "webmaster" that they might be current with a full family history...

Now I'm frantically searching my mind for all those clever things my kids did and all those life changing thoughts that would really help all who read my little blog. Nothing.

Just two quick stories about both kids. Maybe then I can feel at ease knowing that my children's lives are adequately documented.

Jake has always been interested in numbers. He loves to ask random people (fellow shoppers at Wal-Mart, those who happen to stop next to us at a red light, etc) what their address is. Finally Jake discovered his life calling when we went through the Wal-Greens drive thru to pick up a prescription. Jake decided he would like to be the teller asking people for their address to verify their getting the correct prescription. We are in the process of getting him a store job application right now.

Afton has profound moments when I realize just how fast she is growing up. This week she saw a little girl walking with just her mom. She pointed at the little girl and said "Ohhh, that little girl doesn't have a brother." Let's just hope she always appreciates that she has a big brother!
