8+ Between the Storms

We had a busy weekend and again, we have been told to prepare for another massive winter storm.  Since the last one proved to be 7 instead of 15 inches (but still resulted in two days off from school) I am a bit pessimistic that we will actually see the 8 to 12 inches predicted for our area.

The boys after we heard the news of a second snow day last week

I was finally forced onto the treadmill on Friday evening and decided to do my easy 40 minute run and wait for my 7 mile long run when the weather might be better to run outside on Sunday.

And while our Thursday and Friday were pretty low key, spending time at my folk's house during our days off playing games and relaxing.....our Saturday was full of activities and fun!  The boys each had their last ice skating lessons and both really enjoyed them.  Saturday afternoon we all went with Grandma and Grandpa Ammeter to the KSU Rodeo and that evening was Mitchell basketball game where he did awesome snagging 12 rebounds!!

And today was another active day for Chad and I before the weather prevents any outdoor running again.  I was able to meet up with the same two friends from EMS today and ran over 8 miles with them.  This afternoon Chad ran a 5 mile trail run out at Fancy Creek and placed 2nd in his age division!  The first round of winter weather didn't slow down our training and we are hoping the second round will not either. ;)
