It's getting really hot around here. Both days this weekend were in the mid to high nineties, breaking 100 in spots on Sunday.

Saturday morning Kristen and I headed to Broomfield for a 5k race. Unfortunately we couldn't find the race in time, and so we went to plan B, which was to run with our training group. We got in quite a few miles, then headed home to prepare for a barbeque at a friends house. Kristen made some tasty home-made potato salad, which utilized our first onion of the year. Matt smoked up some great ribs, and we stuffed ourselves pretty well.

Sunday morning we got up early and ran a bunch of errands. We both blew some dough at REI, since they were having there big summer sale. We both picked up some good summertime clothing. We got to utilize some gift cards and dividend checks, so the impact on the wallet wasn't as bad as it could have been.

Shortly after getting back home, Morrissey showed up and wanted to tube the creek. We peddled down to the office, changed into our tubing outfits, and spent the rest of the afternoon playing in the creek and on the mall. Last week a few tubers "bumped into" a dead body in the creek, luckily we didn't see (or touch) any.

Katie and Jordan showed up on Friday for the big wedding weekend. We ate dinner outside on the Pearl St Mall, and walked around downtown a bit on Friday night.

The next morning we met for the first half-marathon training session. Katie and Jordan joined us, and Jordan did a good job keeping up with the sub-9 minute group. Katie played in the park with Rocco, the new puppy mentioned a few posts back.



The cats stayed in the bedroom most of the time Rocco was visiting. Ada did make it out once to sniff him while he was sleeping, but then rocketed back into the bedroom when he twitched a bit.

We ate a bit of lunch, then headed east for the wedding. Kristen and Katie's brother Clay were getting hitched, so it was a full day of family mingling. The ceremony was nice, and the weather cooperated for the most part. Nephew Maddock kept everyone entertained, including grandpa Bruce. Luckily the tetherball re-match between Jordan and I never materialized.



I had to get up early on Sunday for a big delivery at work. It went smoothly but consumed the majority of Sunday. We ate a fresh salad out of the garden for dinner, including the first few tomatoes off of the porch plant. We also watched "Best In Show", which was even funnier than I remembered.

It's been a slow couple of weeks for us. After the crazy Memorial Day weekend, we've reigned things in a bit. Two weekends ago was really laid back, we did a short run, some gardening, and a lot of relaxing. This last weekend was more of the same.

We ran a 10k in Longmont on Saturday. I did about as well as I expected, Kristen wasn't feeling too hot, so she was a bit slower than she'd hoped. Afterwards, my buddy Nate came over to work on some games we're planning for our annual camping trip that happens in a few weekends. Kristen and I went and saw a movie Saturday evening.

Sunday involved hanging out at the Pearl Street mall in wonderful weather, and walking along the creek a bit. A few tubers were braving the creek, although the mid 80's seemed a little too cold to me to be in the water. It was Morrissey's 29th birthday as well, so we had a big Sushi lunch with him and Tracy.

Back home for naps, then we took a bike ride to go look at a few houses we are interested in. We've scheduled viewings, maybe we'll find something we really like. We swung by Dairy Queen on the way home. It was a very pleasant day.
