My mom just retired about a month ago and I am on summer break from teaching, so we have planned to spend this week at her lake cottage. I am sooo excited! I love spending time with my mom. She just reached her five year cancer free mark so I am extra excited about that! I came so close to losing her that this time is even more precious to me.

There isn't any internet at the cottage so I won't be able to post my exercise and visit my Spark buddies. On the plus side, however, she does have two kayaks so I am going to learn a new skill. I'm a little uneasy about it because you have to have your legs in the kayak (I have a bit of a claustrophobia issue ) but she says I can put my legs on top is I really need to. Something about tipping over and getting stuck on the kayak.... !

I will be back Friday and will hopefully have pictures from my first 5K race back in May. My step dad took the pictures, so hopefully I will be able to get them from him this week.

Enjoy your week!
