Our friends Kecia and Tim came up for this weekend. They are marathon runners and have just bought new road bikes and are starting to get into cycling.
I went for a nice 13-mile run with Eric, Todd and Joe out of Joe's house early Saturday morning. Part of the reason Kecia and Tim came was to scout the Square Lake Triathlon bike course so Holly took them on the route Saturday afternoon.
Lilly and I went to Riverfest to look around and have lunch Saturday.

We ate hamburgers and homemade lemonade and then toured the fire trucks. Lilly got to ride in a boom truck and even run the controls on the way down!

Saturday evening we all went to Trailhead for the Team Strong Heart celebration. Cool pictures and stories that brought back some memories of last year. Their hard work and preparation was rewarded with a first place finish. Awesome. I won a bike trainer and Holly won a bottle of wine!
After Saturday's reception at the bike shop Holly and I invited people over to our house to celebrate TSH's return. We've done this the past three years and have had a great night each time. There were stories of this year's adventure and rumors of a superteam 4-man team and maybe even a 4-woman team for next year. Thanks to Neil, Rose and Owen for getting rid of the fireworks left over from last weekend.
Kecia, Tim, Holly, Lilly and I took a lap through Elm Creek on a beautiful Sunday morning. We sent our old bike trainer home with them knowing they'll get some good use out of it. Holly had Silent Sports Foundation work to do so Lilly and I rode to the grocery store and Andrew's Park. We all wound down the weekend eating pizza and watching The Incredibles.
