Too much activity = two tired little girls!!
We didn't even make it out of Grammy's neighborhood yesterday afternoon before both girls were completely sacked out. After a fun sleep-over Sunday night, Monday was packed with a zoo trip, swimming and no naps. Oh wait, mommy and daddy got in post-run naps after returning home from Bolder Boulder. Thanks to Grammy and Papa Mike, somebody got rest.
The race was lots of fun! Brian and I got in a dinner date the night prior, followed by some strolling and ice cream eating. Jennifer met up with us to catch the bus to the run and we all kicked a little booty. My race goal was to break 50 minutes, my best time until being 54:46 last year. Goal accomplished! I finished in right around 49 minutes. GPS watch was just under 49 and unofficial results said 49:02, which is probably race clock time. The race had a bit of trouble with the new timing system, so we'll see what the chip results come out to be. I was proud of myself though. In all the years I have been running, I've finally stepped out of my comfort running zone and learned how to push myself a little harder. Brian also did awesome! He ended up with the wrong bib/chip and raced as a "Peggy" but gave her a nice finish time of 53:30. Not too shabby for someone who has run maybe a hand-full of times since last year's race! He always manages to pull it out of somewhere. We are still waiting to see if anyone actually ran as "Brian" and if they helped or hurt his cause.
The rest of the weekend was also much fun! We kicked it off on Friday night by joining some good friends and their 2 little boys for dinner at our favorite pizza joint. Then, we all attended a summer kick-off party at the club pool on Saturday. The weather was a bit breezy, so didn't get in much water play but we made up for it plenty on Sunday when the weather was sunny and beautiful! The girls splashed in the water and dug in the sand for hours. Brian, aka Mr. Sports, also took 2nd in the member-member tennis tournament on Saturday, bringing home a little trophy for display.
