Georgetown to Idaho Springs Half Marathon

I did it!! I completed my first half marathon without dying. I ran the whole way even though my knee started freaking out at mile two (the first 5 miles of the race were on rocky dirt road, that threw my knee all out of whack) My running buddies Stephanie and Roberta and I got a hotel room up in Georgetown the night before and had a nice dinner and relaxed in the hot tub (a great way to spend the night before a race). The smaller pictures above were taken by the official race photographer, Brightroom Photography.


These are the pictures Zach took of Steph and I sprinting to the finish line. Knowing that Zach and the kids were going to be at the finish line is what kept me going most of the time.

Mason started his second year of preschool on Monday. He has the same teacher he had last year. The big difference is now he gets to ride his bike to school with no training wheels. Next year is going to be crazy because Peyton will start preschool and Mason will be in kindergarten.

He Likes to Ride His Bicycle!

Well I got a very interesting call the other day from Meredith. It went something like this..."Your son has a big surprise for you when you get home." Turned out he can ride his bike without training wheels! A lot better surprise than what I had in mind (paint on walls, broken bones, poop/pee accident in prominent place, vomit in prominent place). Apparently his friend left his bike outside and Mason jumped on and rode it back to his house and has not looked back since. It's like the midget bike mafia gang has attacked our neighborhood since Mason and his friends all have little bikes they ride around together. It's pretty cute.
