I love to cycle. I hate to run. But I'm trying to change that. My 6S friend Kimbarley asked me to do the River Run 5K with her, so I did. I think we did pretty good since neither of us did any training or prep for the race. After our race we ran into another 6S cardiac RN friend, Alysha, who was getting ready for her 10K race. Unlike us though, she runs daily.
Every Wednesday I'm off (which is every other week) I take the boys to cub scouts while Jason goes on a 25-30 mile bike ride with his friends. The Wednesday I work, he takes the boys. This was our troop hike. Below that is Kaiden helping me with my bench. I decided I wanted to get into woodworking. I've never used power tools before and really had no idea how to use them... and honestly I was a bit scared that I might cut off some digits. But I'm intrigued by the unknown and I wanted to teach myself how to use them. Jason owns a bunch of tools and gave me the okay to use them (no instruction though) so... I cautiously experimented with them. I decided to choose a very simple, basic bench to build while I learn the tools. I had to buy a Kreg Jig since Jason didn't own that tool. My bench is a simple design, but I'm happy to say I built it completely on my own. Below is when I sanded it down before staining it. I plan to put it by the front door when I'm finished.
