I Survived!

Isurvived the Bolder Boulder 10K and it was really a lot more fun than I had envisioned. I finished and I didn't collapse at the end. Ha! Ha! Nate did really well too! There were a little over 53,000 people that ran it. Yes, 53 thousand! Isn't that crazy! We all had a lot of fun and we are looking forward to doing it again next year. Kate also had a great time with her grandparents while we were gone. It was really hard to leave her for the first time, but I knew she was in good hands and it was only one night. Just wanted to share a couple of pics of the race with ya' all!

10K

Okay, so my husband and friends talked me into doing this 10K on Monday (Memorial Day) in Boulder. Why I said I would do it, I don't know. I guess it was peer pressure. I ran 3 miles yesterday and almost died. I only have to double that (6 miles) in 7 days. Yeah, right! I am going to walk/jog the whole thing, so we will see if I make it. The great thing is that it's a big celebration, so there are bands along the race. I told Nate if I go 3 miles and I'm over it, I can just sit down and listen to the bands. Ha! Ha! And they can come pick me up later :-D
This will also be the first time we leave Kate overnight with her grandparents. So I am a little nervous about leaving her, but I'm sure she will love spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Clay.
So I will let you know if I cross the finish line!

Ft. Collins Half Marathon/5K

Nate and our friends (John, Annie, Jordan, Bronwyn and her mom Ginny) all ran in the Ft. Collins Half Marathon/5K Race. The girls all did the Half Marathon! You go girls! And the boys did the 5K. God didn't make me a runner, so Scott and I watched the kiddos. We all had a lot of fun, and enjoyed the weekend in Ft. Collins. They are all getting ready to run a 10K at the end of the month in Boulder. It looks like I'll be the babysitter/cheerleader, somebody has to do it :-D

April

What happened in April: Kate turned 6 months, she started eating solids, and she met her great grandma and great great grandma. At her 6 month check up she weighed 14 lb 4 oz and was 25.5 inches long. She is going to be tall like her Daddy. I think it's finally Spring here in Colorado. The trees are starting to get leaves and flowers are starting to bloom. Yeah! Kate seems to love wearing shorts and t-shirts. Maybe she really is a California girl like her Mom.

The End of Our Blog?

So I think this may be the end of our blog. I don't know if anyone is reading it, so this may be my last entry. If you do read it and are interested in updates occasionally let me know and I will keep it up. If not, then no worries. It was fun!
