I hurt...

I'm trying to get into training for the Irongirl Duathlon at the end of September. I've had a few runs, but getting into a regular training schedule has not happened yet. But, I ran last night (plan to use the Couch to 5k training for the run) and now I hurt.

It's good for me, right? Now if only I can get to a regular training regimen.

It's Goose!

Our church had Vacation Bible School last week and I helped on 2 of the days with Games. The second day was beautiful and we were able to play outside. We had some extra time and a couple of the small groups wanted to play Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. We've had the debates with native MN friends about Duck, Duck, Goose versus Duck, Duck, Gray Duck. The argument for MN's "better" Gray Duck version is that colors are used and therefore it's a better game. Instead of going around the circle with just duck, duck, duck, duck, goose it's supposed to be red duck, yellow duck, green duck, blue duck, gray duck. I suppose I can give in a little bit on that point.

However, the kids at VBS just did duck, duck, duck, gray duck and no other colors! Did their parents forget to properly instruct them on how the game is played? Do they not know color names? Should they just give in to how the rest of the world plays the game?!!? Can we teach our kids it's goose and not gray duck and not have them ridiculed? Oh the dilemma! =)

Here's the Wikipedia link to the game. Even Wikipedia recognizes Minnesota's are "different".
