26.2 Miles and 19 Fish

On May 21st, Teri was able to scratch one more thing off of her bucket list... to finish a marathon. After 18+ weeks of training, Teri ran the Fargo Marathon in 5 hours, 3 minutes & 43 seconds. Katie also ran the marathon and finished 20 minutes ahead of Teri. Robin, Nicci, Mom and Kevin came to watch and cheered us on! Thanks to them, we have pictures of us running. Drew stayed back at the lake with grandpa so he could fish. He was able to catch 19 fish off the shore!

Teri was super excited to see Mom, Robin, Nicci and Kevin along the route.

This was about mile 14 of the race.

At Least I Wasn't Last

This past Saturday, I ran in the 20 mile Earth Day Run at St. Cloud State University. The weather was cold and blustery... but I did finish the race in 3:58:41. Of the 124 finishers (men and women) I came in 122nd. Granted... it was no where near the record Boston Marathon pace... I at least finished the race and I felt pretty good afterwards. This was a great run to help me prepare for the Fargo Marathon on May 21. KT was unable to race due to a sore knee. She served as my personal photographer and race cheerleader! Thank you KT!

Here are some of the details of the race.

age:	47
gender:	F
location:	Stewartville, MN
overall place:	122 out of 124
division place:	4 out of 4
gender place:	73 out of 74
time:	3:58:41
pace:	11:57

KT and I just registered and are ready to head outside to start the race.

There were suppose to be around 250 running the 20 mile race.

Many either did not race at all or started and did not finish the race.

Here KT supplies me with gum... around the 10 mile mark.

Take Me Out To The Ball Game

Stewartville's varsity baseball team has gotten off to a great start winning their first 4 ball games of the season. Aaron picked up his first varsity win pitching yesterday against Zumbrota-Mazeppa throwing 3 innings of no run, no hit ball. Here is the link to the baseball website in case you want to follow the team's progress: https://sites.google.com/site/stewartvillebaseball/

Basketball Season Comes To An End

Both Aaron and Andrew had a fun and successful basketball season. Aaron's varsity team ended the season with a 21- 5 record. They won the HVL conference and were also seeded #1 in their subsection. Unfortunately, their season came to an unexpected end, losing in the 2nd round of subsection play.

Andrew's team won 2 tournaments and also placed 3rd in another. No sooner is one season over, then we begin another. Good times.... Good times....

HVL Conference Champs

Stewartville's varsity basketball team won its first HVL Championship since 1992 with a 65-60 victory at Goodhue on February 26th. The boys finished the regular season with a 20-4 record.

Aaron's Basketball Season Keeps Rolling On

Currently, the Tiger basketball team is playing their best ball of the season... peaking at the right time. Stewartville has won 11 out of their last 12 games and their over all record is 17-4. Aaron has consistently made improvements this year adjusting to the physical nature of varsity action. In each game, different players rise to the occasion to help the team win. The boys have two regular season games left and a conference championship game versus Goodhue before playoffs begin.

Two For Two

Drew's traveling basketball team has played in two basketball tournaments so far this winter...winning both tournaments. Last weekend, they won their first tournament in Lyle. The boys played very well and all 15 boys played equal playing time.

The coaching staff decided to divide the team into two teams for the Austin tournament...both teams won two games to get to the finals. Unfortunately, they had to play each other. But it was a win win situation! Everyone got to play a lot and the team still ended up with top honors.
