April

The weather started warming a bit and the sun finally started shining!!! All of us do much better when the sun is shining and we can get outside!

My friend, Mary, and I participated in a triathlon on April 4th. This is the triathlon that I did last year. It is organized by ADPi and is a sprint triathlon. This was the first triathlon for Mary and she placed 3rd in her age group! That girl is a natural athlete!

Like I said, this family does much better when the sun shines, and we can be outside. This is the Greenway. It is a paved path that runs along the Stones River. We love to ride our bikes or take the dogs walking. There is even a dog park called the Bark Park. Our dogs love it there!

Speaking of dogs...we had to put our sweet Paty Dog down on April 23rd. She was 14 1/2 and had cancer. We had been struggling with this decision for over 6 months. She was an awesome dog and will be greatly missed! We had her cremated and are going to have a memorial and spread her ashes at the lake. That was her favorite place to go! RIP Paty Dog!

We ended the month with the Country Music Half Marathon. Mo and I both participated. This is a very well organized race but the hills will kick your bootay!

Mo realized how wonderful the ice packs are at the medical tent! (I had already had my knees wrapped up...and it felt awesome!) Neither of us had a PR but we finished!!!
