Going to Kansas City, Kansas City Here I Come…..

I’m in Kansas City all weekend (the KANSAS side) visiting my parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew.  I already ate some delicious BBQ.

I also visited my brother at his school and watched him coach track.  I strangely wanted to run 200s with them and it took every ounce of self control not to try to race them (I probably would have lost).  It really made me want to get in contact with some local coaches and see if they need any help…..even though I know NOTHING about coaching track or cross country. 

My brother and I picked up my 3-year-old nephew, JP, and we headed to my parents so I could eat some spaghetti.  JP and I played in the backyard; we played lots of very important games like pretending we were mowing and run around in circles until we get dizzy.  I really like that kid, we have the same idea of fun.

Oh and I’m also running a hilarious half marathon tomorrow, Running with the Cows.  Its a small one about 30 minutes south of where my parents live.  I have no idea what to expect and it is really warm and humid right now (I HATE humidity for running).  Not expecting to PR or to feel well, but I’m sure I will have fun!

Jeff stayed back in Denver because he is headed to San Francisco next weekend with his family.  He also has to tend to the garden.  He told me that Elle has volunteered to keep watch over it and sent me this photo:
