I thought I would stick with the same kid of theme! On Saturday I rode in my first bike race and rode 33 miles through the winding hills of Oklahoma in 40 degree cold windy weather. It was a lot of fun let me tell you! About mile 23 I kept asking myself what in the world I was doing out there. But thankfully I finished and will more than likely keep biking and do other races. Every time I have sat down since Saturday my butt keeps reminding me to never get on a bicycle seat again, but I kinda dumb. I have no idea how those Tour de France guys do it day in and day out! They are studs with a capital S.
On another note Kacey, Kally and I ran a 5k race that was associated with this bike race and had a lot of fun. Ab0ut at 1k Kacey is not doing to well and is having a little bit of a hard time, being the good father I am I try to encourage her. I say hey you can do this remember when you were 6 and we did the dino dash and it was a 5K! Well without missing a beat she looks up at me and say, "Yea dad but I'm not as young as I use to be". Mind you she is 8 now but I guess that is over the hill in her book. I just cracked up as well as all the other people around me, the good news is we finished the race and all that matters is that she got over the finish line before me. I guess she doesn't count the part of the race that I carried her on my shoulders. If I thought about it long enough I could probably come up with some sort of spiritual illustration to go with it, huh!!!!!

Oh brother, that'll preach! I hope you have a great easter with your family. If you are running any other races in the area let me know, and I might be able to come and join you. It would give me an excuse to go down there. At the moment, let's keep it at a 5 or 10K though!
