Family Running Fun!

 

It's Joe's worst nightmare these days. ALL of us taking part in some of the larger runs around town. Remember, this used to be his "solo" passion! Sunday we all took part in the "old Reliable Run". We love it because it is tied to "Gammy's Newspaper" and it has a 5K and a 10k run an hour apart. That means we can do a quick kid switch in the middle and everybody runs! Plus, this one had face painting, inflatable jummping, snacks and vendors.

Joe raced the 5k and I ran the 10K. Despite the wind and the hills (!) a good time was had by all.

13.1

 

Now normally I am not a fan of doing things HALF way. But I made an exception this morning for Raleigh's City of Oaks Half-Marathon. I came, I ran, I finished. Not a bad outing at all. Hard to believe I used to be intimidated by 13 point 1 miles! Planning to do the next one in February at Myrtle Beach with the sole goal of removing the 1 minute and 42 seconds that kept me away from my preferred finish this go round.




I think somewhere along the way here I skipped our very busy Halloween. Here the girls are heading out with our best boy friends for trick-or-treating.








Earlier that same day Francesca was Miss Muffet in the Kindergarten Nursery Rhyme Parade. (Yes, year 2 on this costume!)




And before that -- a Fall Party for the Fours!
