Off the couch!

My brother Michael and I will be running the Cooper River Bridge 10K on April 5th. I used to run... before I started having children some 14 years ago. I am not a stranger to running, just a distant relative.
In order to get my non-running form in shape I started a training program titled "From Couch to 10k in 10 weeks". Today was my second day. This first week is pretty easy; 4-6 days of two miles walking/running an 1/8 of a mile at a time. 2 days down...68 to go!

Tae Kwon Do

Tonight was our first family Tae Kwon Do class. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art. It uses the legs much more than Japanese Karate. We learned some kicks and punches and even did a few sit-ups and push-ups. I am already feeling sore, tomorrow I'll be referring to it as Tae Kwon DoOohhh! We are all glad that we were the only students attending tonight. None of us had any style and one of us fell during a kick. We all looked a little dorky, but we'll get better!

Christopher Walken

At the risk of resembling creepy snake people, I have to announce that we have recently adopted an African Ball Python named Christopher Walken. My family laughs at the name, I know, because the kids have been talking about Christopher like he is their schoolmate. My sister-in-law had to think for a minute..."how weird is it that he would have a friend with that name".

Well, he is a great addition to the family and fits into our pet color scheme perfectly.

Oh! Bryant has renamed him Elbows....I don't know.
