Good Times

Well, unlike much of the metroplex we are still in school...bummer. But we have enjoyed a two week visit from Grandma Charlotte with lots of play time and a few sleep overs in the motor home. We finished off the visit with a trip to Canton for some shopping and tomorrow it is back to the grindstone.

On the first Sunday of each month the Burleson Runner's Club has their 5k run and we always try to make it out. Today our family had a great showing with 10 runners! Pops, Nana, Kara, Pete and Sara ran the 5k and all of the kids (Soren, Wyatt, Ashton, Reese and Parker) ran the 1k. Lots of great successes again. Pops had a PR of 30:02 (that is a 9:40/mile pace! Wow!). Nana and Kara were a couple of minutes behind him around the 32-34 minute mark. Pete also set a new PR with a 17:46 run! Nice! That is a 5:43/mile pace. I was right on my PR of 23:00 but did not break it; I was off by 2 seconds with a 23:02. The kids all earned trophies with their runs as well.

After the race we went and loaded up on some mexican food to put back all of those calories we left out on the course. Having Fun. Thanks for coming down everybody!

Finally caught up on the blog reading and it sounds like things are awesome! Miss seeing you so much like we had been for awhile. We were in the car the other day and Callie said out of the blue, "Are we going to Aunt Sara's house?" It was cute.
