Woo hoo for whitewater rafting!

[marathoner452]

Woo hoo! Whitewater rafting yesterday was soooo much fun. Class III and IV rapids as promised-exciting enough to be fun but not so much as to be terrifying. The weather was near-perfect-chilly enough in the morning that we needed wetsuits (which where really uncomfortable but warm), warm enough by the afternoon that the spray from the rapids felt close to delicious. And Heidi was the only one who went over-that was scary for all of us, fortunately it was easy it get her back in 'cause she's so light-and we worked really well together as a family. Too bad Mom didn't come-we'll have to go again over the summer and get her in on it. And don't worry, we have pictures...
Back to work today. Boy, was I ever stiff and tired from yesterday-mostly in my shoulders and back. Fortunately, putting away ties and pants doesn't require too much heavy lifting. I ran home today too-I need to keep up my reputation at work as the girl who runs and it was a beautiful day. Just under 70 and breezy with a few drops of rain. I know ideally it should be cooler for running, but I'm a warm-weather kinda girl. Gimme heat and humidity over cold and wind any day! 7 miles at a pretty easy pace-I had speed repeats planned but then remembered that the local race series starts Thursday and I want to put in a good showing, That'll have to serve as my speedswork for the week.
Okay, enough of rambling. Chris, I know you're still at school and reading this, anyone else? Any point to me keeping this thing updated over the summer?

No more school for me...but by all means, keep it updated (I find it interesting)

Good, at least someone enjoys my ramblings. :p Should be a challenge to find computer time once my siblings are done with school though-might be reason enough to get my laptop's internet up and running...
Thanks. Good to know I'm not just posting this for myself.

where were you rafting? would you be up for a duckie (inflatable kayaks) trip at Harper's Ferry later this summer?

[marathoner452.livejournal.com]

Lower Yough, up in western PA. And I'd definately be up for another trip sometime this summer. Keep me posted.
BTW, I love how you typed your name with your tongue. My family won't let me do that on our shared computer, so I see that as reason to get the internet on my laptop up and running. :p

Kristin would be yelling at you if she wasn't upstairs studying for finals. Something at which to laugh, not "something to laugh at." I guess you need grammer check. Better start looking into that. :p

Hmf. I reply to your livejournal, and all you can do is antagonize me for ending a sentence with a preposition. I humbly suggest that you proofread your own posts because I am quite sure that you meant "grammar," not "grammer."

Also, I remind you that the English language does have a subjunctive mood. Thus, "if she weren't upstairs," not "if she wasn't upstairs."

You want us to bake cookies for you when you come home or not? :p
