Found one!

Gracie's first Easter egg hunt was successful!

My Two Models

Grace got called to audition for a Graco catalog. And when Chickee and Grace arrived, they said they needed some cute moms as well, and they asked whether Chickee would audition as well.
She did, and BOTH got hired! They spent a busy day in Malibu shooting countless poses with Grace in a highchair and Chickee trying to look natural while looking at both Grace and the camera.
They told us that the photos would be used in two catalogs. Here is a shot that landed in the first one.
In mid-February, we were shopping for stuff at a baby store and after we were there for a while, a clerk came up and asked to Chickee, "were you two in a Graco catalog?"
They had recognized them! And because we hadn't seen the catalog yet, we were really excited to take a stack of them with us. My girls are famous!

Speedwork

I did my first track workout of the year last night. It was really sort of a half-workout, in which I went over to the track at Soka and did 4x200 with 200 recovery. My goal was to be between 35 and 38 sec per rep, and to not be hurt afterwards.

My times were as follows:

37.5
36.4
35.6
35.0

total is 800m at 2:24.5, or 4:49 mile pace. It's a good start.

I iced my right Achilles aftewards and seem to be no worse for wear. The plan for next week is to do 8x200 at the same speed.

Testing

OK, I'm finally joining 2007 and starting a blog. I plan to post a bunch of things. No idea what they will be. Probably lots of kid pics.
