Three for Me!

Earlier this evening I participated in my third 5K! My finishing time was pretty horrible, but I have a fairly good reason for that. It was a beautiful evening and I really enjoyed running with my friend Kate (without her I think I might have walked after the first - uphill - mile). Here's a short, worth watching, video of me crossing the finishing line:



I know it's dark and grainy, but did you catch the sign? No? Well, here's a close-up:

P.S. Yes, it's Halloween. No, it's not a costume. ;)

Here's a picture of the kids waiting (and waiting) while I "ran."
Here's one more picture from before the run (I swiped it from my friend's blog - thanks, Kate!). Larry ran the race too, but he finished WAY faster than we did.

I guess I should have called you back?!? Sorry about that, we had a leisurely dinner (it was too yummy to rush), then we served dessert and started cleaning up and chatting. By the time I remembered to call you back, it was after 11 PM in Florida! Time change or not, still a little too late.
Wahoo! I'd love to go to Florida in the spring! I guess you are feeling "up and running" well. guffaw guffaw :>)
Love the sign!!! We will WELCOME a spring Winters!
Ian's first reaction was --- 'if the baby is due in May, so this will be a boy?" Then we reminded him that Katie's little Anna is a spoiler to the rule. So what do you and Mark want?

ERIN!!!!! And MARK!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!! I cant wait for another little addition to our family!!! Everyone was telling me to read your blog and then I finally did and as the page was loading I thought, "Maybe this is a Baby Announcement...." and it was!!! I will just have to come out and visit you all when your little one comes!!
YEAH!!! I love you all!!!
