Leah

 

March 1, 2000-August 12, 2013

 

Leah was our dog for 13 years. Rachel picked her out from a litter of puppies, when Leah was only 6 weeks old. Josh taught Leah how to shake. She was our family pet. We had a lot of laughs with Leah. The kids dressed her up in clothes. We called her Velcro Dog, because she stuck to Greg like Velcro.
We also called her Fatal attraction, because she would lay on Greg's lap and stare at him....She had a good life and was a good guard dog. She barked at intruders. She loved our friends Marco,  Angie Willis and Cameron, and Jenny Fish.  Leah was  very old and sick, her back legs no longer worked for her. . We had to take her to the Vet and say good bye to her. Our family was very sad.

You know you are a triathlon nerd when......

You know you are a triathlon nerd when........


1.My homeschool lesson consists of writing on the dry erase board, explaining to the children what 70.3 and 140.6 is.


2. My favorite magazines are Runners World and Bicycling.


3. My daughter who works at the Library brings me home every book the library carries on Triathlons/Triathletes.

4. I like to window shop in Bicycle stores and look at all the clothing and extra goodies...

5. Instead of snacking on candy bars, now I like to try different energy bars and gels and jelly beans that you eat while riding my bike.

6. I drink water out of my cycling water bottle all the time, not just when riding the bike.

7. I  like to explore new bike trails.

8. Eating changes from just eating what you like to eating as FUEL to keep you swimming/biking/running longer.....

9. I know what a brick is. I know what a cassette is. and I know how to change a tire.

10. I cheer for every person I see riding  a bicycle or running down the road.
