A wonderfully long day...

ROCK N' ROLL!!
So for the last 3 or 4 months I have been training for my first 1/2 marathon. Crazy!! I couldn't run a mile without stopping a year and a half ago! But all that hard work and DEDICATION paid off because here I am today with 13.1 miles checked off my to-do list. I feel great! I actually didn't want to stop after I crossed the finish line (but there was no way in "you-know-where" that I was going to run another 13.1 to a full marathon though!!) I was so glad that I had some great friends to share this experience with. We rocked it!!
All ready to go!
With friends April and Amy! Way to go my friends!
My kiddos got to ride the light rail for the first time!! They gave me the best post-race hugs!!
My time was 1:47:58 and that, my friends, is a sigh of relief!!


ORTHO BBQ

So after the the race we took off to go to Chad's work's welcome BBQ. It was such beautiful weather! Kids actually went swimming in the lake!! Brrr...

Zane and his baby blues!!
I think Nixon ended up with more sand in his pants than the beach!
Lexi is my giggle gal!!

A great day...I ready for a nap now!!
