Ice cream.

Anyhow, yesterday she was on a quest to make a s’more using just tin foil and the sun. She carefully wrapped it in the foil and then set out to find a good place to put it in the backyard so that the sun could melt the s’more  — as well as a place that Josie couldn’t reach it. At first she put it on top of the grill, but soon moved it to the top of the playset.

I’m not sure how long it was out there, maybe three hours? Anyhow, the soon she realized that it wasn’t exactly working as she thought it would. So we stuck it on the hot grill for about 45 seconds, ta da, melted s’more!

Well I’m starting to get into the longer mileage for my training for the Lakefront Marathon. I’ve got 14 to do this weekend, I’ll probably try to do them on Saturday morning with the Striders. Jeff has his Home Alone run on Sunday, which I’ll most likely be at too. I’m not sure I’ll do the entire distance, but even a few miles is good. No one there will be my pace, so I might just set up a water station at the 3 mile point.

With the longer miles I also have a few events that I’m running, the first being the Madison Mini Marathon (13.1 miles) on Saturday, August 20th. I sure do hope the weather is great that morning. Next up after that is The North Face Endurance Challenge during the weekend of September 17-18th. I haven’t picked my event just yet. There is a link in the sidebar if you wanted to peruse what the challenge is all about.

In other news, my husband has started a food blog! I know you’ll enjoy it and can’t wait for him to share his first official entree — although I’ve shared quite a few over here so far. That means that you’ll probably want to go on a diet because he doesn’t spare when it comes to cooking and baking.
