Mini 2010

Another Mini Marathon is in the books! I'd say two words describe this year's Mini: COLD and WINDY. oh...and fast too...Dave ran his fastest Mini ever, finishing the 13.1 miles in one hour and 37 minutes! That beat his fastest time by 6.5 minutes! He worked really hard training this year, so I was happy to see it pay off for him. Here he is about 30 yards from the finish...that's him in the traffic cone orange shirt. I could only get his backside...that's how fast he was going! :) Plus, I was trying to manage the camera, the 2 year-old, and get his attention all at the same time!

Here's Andra celebrating with Daddy after his run. That's my medal she's wearing...I just did the 5K this year since baby's on board. It was my fastest walking pace ever...I took 6 minutes off my time for walking three miles, compared to the pace I walk three miles in our neighborhood (which is always with Pudge). So, I did some calculation, and that means I spend about 2 minutes per mile picking up his poop, stopping so he can "mark" every mailbox on the street and sniff every curious smell we come across.

Yes, that's a stocking cap I'm wearing. In May. Gosh, it was cold! And SO windy...I felt like the wind beat up on me all morning long!

In other news, I've been getting lots of special treatment this Mother's Day. Andra gave me some windchimes I've really been wanting for our screened in porch (my FAVORITE "room" in our house!), and Dave gave me an awesome new workout shirt that even fits over my belly...for now. I was treated to Starbucks this morning, and I'm being taken out to a nice dinner tonight! Hope all my mother readers out there are getting some special treatment too.
