Working out more = blogging about it less

The current state of our house (somewhere between disheveled and disgusting) is also testament to working out more. I naively thought that since the kids now spend about 90% of waking time outside, the house would no longer require what's it called...housework. Instead, it seems that the house AND yard AND porch require an equal amount of attention. And since on a good day, I only have patience for about 30 minutes of it, I probably should be looking forward to fall.
I'm not, of course.
The upside is that I finished third in my (new..ahem) age group at Get in Gear last week. Next up: The TCM's mile in downtown Minneapolis next Thursday.

In the meantime, if you're looking for an excuse for a bike ride this weekend, the annual May Day Parade is Sunday at 1 p.m. It's my favorite thing in Minneapolis, and this year, my son and I are donning pinwheel-green helmets and crowns to take part in it. He gets to bling out his bike in green foil and ride in a parade: What could make a 4-year-old happier?
