Sunday - Bike 10 miles - from Willmar to Spicer and part way around Green Lake; biked with kids! Michael Jr. logged 10 miles completely on his own, and Maddie helped me by riding on the trailer bike and pedaling me along. She even pedaled for about half a mile completely alone, pushing me! I'm glad no one saw, or they would have accused me of taking advantage of my children, forcing poor Maddie to push her dad, the ironman, on her trailer-bike! It was a beautiful day and the kids did great. Heather rode her bike for the first time this spring and it went well. We celebrated at the DQ at the 6-mile point. Total time = 1 hour

Thursday - Cold and windy, rainy today. Took day off to celebrate Michael's birthday! 9 years old already. Hard to believe. He had all the boys in his class over to our place (14 3rd grad boys - that's an experience!) They gave me a pretty good workout, as I played basketball (1 on 14) frisbee, lightning and chasing with them. A lot of energy at that party! Michael got a DS Lite for his birthday and was SO excited. Total time = 0.

Friday - Biked to work and back again. 38 total miles, in just over 2 hours time. It was a good ride in and out, although it was quite breezy from the southeast. I swam 1.2 miles over lunch (39 minutes), and ran 4.2 miles in 30:30. I lifted weights at home for 30 minutes (back, arms), before we headed up to the cabin for Mother's Day weekend and the Minnesota walleye and northern fishing opener! We had a good trip to the cabin, and arrived there around 2:00 a.m. Michael brought his friend Nick along for the first time. Total time = 3 hours 40 minutes.

Saturday - Minnesota fishing opener! Cool and overcast today, turning to rain in the afternoon. I caught a 35 inch northern pike after getting skunked on walleye! Just over 12 pounds. Fished with Dad and Ron Bouma, and we ended up with 22 northerns and 21 accidental bass, all of which were released of course, other than a few northerns for our evening fish fry. When we returned in the afternoon, I cut down a big tree that had fallen at the cabin, and spent an hour or so clearing the wood and brush. After a nap, I ran for 10 miles in the cold rain, which turned to sleet, which turned to snow!! Happy Mother's Day in Minnesota. Total time = 1 hr 13 minutes.
