Well, the real good

Bobbi's mom and sister with the kids....

news is that Nonnie (Donna Livengood) is doing well and home safe and surrounded by Sarah and the kids. Here’s the proof! I talked to Nonnie on Friday and she was already on the way home with Sarah. She felt great and was more interested in talking about nephew Ben’s great show at the national men’s doubles tennis tournament in California which is where she was when she got sick. Way to go Ben! I enjoy playing tennis almost as much as I enjoy golf (those of you who know me well can guess the look on my face), but I still like the idea of other enjoying sports (even if I don’t enjoy them myself. Anyone want my golf clubs???).

We are all well. Ethan had strep and Kira may have it now, but I’m all right and none of the “grown ups” seem to have gotten sick. It’s not that I mind getting sick as much as I mind missing training. I’m too old to miss a week off of the bike! I’ll keep working out and taking vitamins and hope I dodge that bullet.

Ethan and I spent the night at his friend Jack’s house. Jack’s house is the home of our (Bobbi’s and mine) friends Casey and Jill Cooper. Today Casey and I have a huge long ride (relatively) today- 2.5 hours at moderate exertion levels. This is called “Endurance Miles” training by our coaches.

Jill Cooper serves Ethan and Oliver breakfast...

I’m not sure what the rest of the team is supposed to do, but that’s what Casey and I were assigned. Oh boy, If we do it that will easily take us 50k in one day. That’s a good example of what to expect on “the ride”. News at 11.    ;-)

There are more updates on “the Hugh blog”. I’ll keep you posted.
