Gresko Reunion

We had a great time at our family reunion in Reno, Nevada - I'd never been there before. My favorite was hiking in to Lake Tahoe and enjoying the beautiful scenery and watching the kids play. I also loved hugging all my brothers and my dad and eating chocolate with my sisters-in-law, daughters, and niece at The Chocolate Bar. I LOVE FAMILY!

My dad got most of his grandchildren to jump into the 53 degree lake - freezing!

We had a picnic with my dad's brother's kids (my cousins) - lots of fun.

David and I enjoying the lake - looking pretty good for 40-something's, huh?

We all stayed at my brother Steve's house - set up a tent city in his backyard. :)

Running

Our family has been running a lot this summer. A couple of weeks ago, we ran a 5K as a family. Jenna actually came in 3rd of all the women there and got a medal. Cool.

I have been considering running a 10K. Up 'til now, I have been very content to stick with the 5K's. I feel like a winner there. But someone said, "If you can run 3 miles, you can just as easily run 6." So I'm thinking about it...and testing the waters.

Twice now, I have run 4.6 miles and 4.8 miles. Only another 1.2 miles and I'll be up to a 10K. I will admit, it was hard. I never did get that "runner's high" at the 3-mile mark I was promised, but I didn't stop, so maybe I have it in me.

Goal for now: 10K at the end of the summer.
