Sharon Thacker is a planner and a go-getter. She and Mandy are always coming up with fun parties and the latest and greatest was a race. She found one that was actually not on a Sunday and it was a 5k and a 10k. I was pretty stoked. I can't really do long runs anymore with my knees, so 5k was perfect. Mandy and I ran the 5k and Mike, Sharon, and Eddie ran the 10k. Mike pushed Brayden in a jogger and I pushed Caleb in the other jogger. I ran a 28:58 as the official time, but we started probably a minute or 30 seconds behind everybody because we took a "before" picture. My goal was to finish in under 30 minutes, so I'm pretty happy. And I had zero knee pain or tightness, so I'm REALLY happy about that. Mike had a good time too--I don't remember the official time, but he had under an 8 minute mile for his 6.2 miles. And Brayden even got orange ice cream after the race because the whole theme was "melon days." So Brayden got melon ice cream. He had been begging for it since the day before when we got superman ice cream and then afterwards saw orange. Oh, and incidently, we ran the race on our 5 year anniversary. I think that is a great way to celebrate.

You guys are awesome! I am very impressed.
Ok, I am so jealous that you guys got to do this together. Brian just went canyonering in CA without me! You look great and it is good to see you are still out there having fun. Check out our blog when you get a chance. It will be fun to keep tabs on you!
You need the double jogger, then Mike could have pushed both kids. Great job!! Glad we could see you in California and catch up. You look like you've been running. I can't wait to run again and feel "light." Three more weeks!!!
