Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkins

This weekend we did our annual pumpkin pick'n. We go to a farm about a half hour North of us and pick our own pumpkins for a great price. As you can see we usually come home with the back of the van packed with the pumpkins.

Century Club

Today I logged my 100th mile since I got my Nike+ ipod system in May. I received the following certificate:

For those who don't know the Nike+ system tells me, through my ipod, how far I run, what my pace is, how many calories I burn and much more. You can check it out here:

Wet Weekend

Saturday was a busy day for us. Harwood was celebrating its 125 anniversary and had all kinds of activities scheduled for the weekend. I took part in the Saturday morning 5K run that could have been named the 5K swim because it rained all day. It was a small group that braved the weather and gathered for a wet & cold run/walk. I ran my slowest 5K time but took 5th over all. Right after I crossed the finish line I jumped in my car and drove to Megan's soccer game (I am the assistant coach -(I'm sure its because of my vast knowledge and experience in soccer.) Megan's team played well under the circumstances. After her game we came home, took warm showers, had warm soup, and headed to Jaden's soccer game. I am the head coach of Jaden's team (see note above). Jaden's team also did well for only having one practice. Jaden even scored his first goal (not bad for the kid who told me he doesn't like sports.)

I found out on Tuesday that I won my age group in the 5K. (OK insert joke now)

Answer to the Pacer

If you haven't figured it out the Yellow Pacer below is a replica of my first car a 1976 AMC Pacer. It was called everything from pregnant banana to upside down fish tank. Everyone in town knew when Jeff was driving down the street. I cant remember how much I paid for it but I think it was under $1,000. It came complete with an AM radio and a manual choke. The front could just about seat 4 people and the back 1 person. People asked, "if you ever rolled it would it just keep rolling?" Oh, what memories!!!!

Anyone have a first car that could beat that?
