Race Day

happy sunday. hope your weekends were longer then mine was. unfortunately i had to work yesterday and it's back to work tomorrow again. thankfully the pay off is a nice short week followed by a long weekend of camping and wilderness and lots and lots of music. more on this when i return next weekend.

so the highlight of last week was definitely watching the hubby and a few friends run in their first race in many years. despite the crap weather (pouring with rain, windy and only lower 60's) they all finished with very good times. the hubby even almost made the 7 minute minute mile mark (finishing in just under 36 minutes) so i was beaming with pride. i was the designated cheerleader, and photographer, because let's face it; running is just not my thing. i could power walk my way through many miles but as soon as i try to run, my body creaks and moans and wines and throws a temper tantrum and it's all over in about 5 minutes max.

unfortunately i didn't have my nice camera but here are a few pics that i smapped with my cell phone:

before....we tried to get jon to run in his union jack thong, amy in her very short shorts and john in his american flag nipple protectors (these actually double as sparklers) but no such luck :( too cold and rainy i guess. maybe next year.







amy's pre-race jive....work it baby work it :)
