1st Race

My first 5 mile race was yesterday 5/1/10, around Capitol Lake. Check in started at 7:30, our race started at 9am. I woke up at 5am, way too excited to sleep. So, I did this:
Empty the clean, fill with the dirty:



After that Alex woke up, needing a new diaper and a bottle. It was then time to head to Sally's to pick up her mom and her.
Sally has been such a great support, and as always been the true runner in the family. She has been running for years! Thanks Sally for all your support & for being willing to do this race with me.

Aunt Judy took the before pictures, so I will need to get our start picture from her. My wonderful Hubby and little one Alex met me at the finish line - he said he was coming, but I didn't want to get my hopes up...and yet, there the two of them were, cheering me on those last steps.
Final Push, not the best picture, Duncan said I was going to fast!



Race Finish Line - Duncan tried to get me as I crossed, you can sort of see my pink shirt. The clock reads 46:26...official times have not been posted - however if this time is accurate then it is my fasted time yet!



I was so happy to finish the race, and to do this:



I just love to snuggle my little guy. Levi is getting to old to want to be held and snuggled. He also leads a very busy life for a 5 year old, so I can't catch him to take pictures or hold him, so I relish the ability to do this with Alex.

I am so glad that I finish the race strong, and that in general I DID IT!!!

Thank you hubby for all your support!!! I love you :)
Now it's off to Grandma P's surprise 80th birthday party (Saturday afternoon). Then home to bake rolls, cupcakes, and meatballs (all from scratch!!!) for my Sis-in-laws baby shower. I love parties and being surrounded by family and friends. Hope sissy doesn't mind that I haven't gotten her a present yet...It's been a little hectic!

Sunday is going to be a fun day!!!!

Hope your weekend is going well.
