Shoot wrong runners….no orthodontics in theses babies…
Had a great 5 km run this weekend in our neighborhood Disco Run. To the volunteers , neighborhood association and all the sponsors job well done. What amazed me the most was how fast the kids were, endless energy. However, the father and eight year old daughter duo inspired me the most. She chatted the whole way did not stop and when she saw the last km marker she said dad lets go, lets finish in under 30 minutes ….and folks they did ! I came in behind them and now have a great new five km route to run .Hearted all the positive energy you get when you run with a group of people it is so invigorating. Speaking of inspiring I am hitting the pavement next weekend to run the “CIBC Run For The Cure”. This was the first timed run I ever did and my kids were two and four and were at the finish line waiting for me. Each time I cross that runs finish line I think of that first run….and my kid-let’s faces….of course the run it self gives one time to reflect on those people close to me that have battled breast cancer and won and those I have lost. I keep on reading about the advances being made and hope that a cure is just around the corner. Running amongest the survivors and those battling breast cancer is truly inspiring .
A big shout out to Lakeview Bakery here in Calgary for making a yummy wheat free bread. It appears my son has a strong sensitivity to wheat ….. Which explains a few health issues. So when he gave a thumbs up to the grilled cheese sandwhich he made I was ….relieved. This is a 6″1 fifteen year old who is on the ice twice a day for hockey and loves peanut butter sandwiches …. The previous three loaves were like eating cardboard and as he pointed out they maybe wheat free but expire in 2014 so that can’t be a healthy alternative. So a few adjustments but he is so on board and so is the rest of the family which helps. It is truly amazing where wheat is used so lots of detective work and my pantry is looking pretty wheat free as the neighbourhood boys know they can have anything on the right side of the pantry(whats left of the wheat products) and after that they will be eating wheat free with the rest of us.
Finishing up a painting of my dream car if there were not big trucks and SUV’s on the road. So will post that next time.

When I pulled out my boots today and me sweaters it was a tad chilly. Noticed a few items of clothing had some extra color….even with a paint apron on it appears I missed the canvas a few times last fall. For all you creative minds wishing you splatters of paint…..
