the dew baby

Wendy, me, Liz, Alessa

I ran my first officially unofficial 5K tonight. It was colder than I hoped it would be -- not freezing or otherwise unreasonable. Just....colder than I like. Like in the lower 40's. My lungs like 50's better.

Still, I ran with my new friend Wendy (who is also an asthmatic runner), while Liz & Alessa put some speed on it and finished way ahead of us. I say "officially unofficial" because it was technically a free fun-run. There were no bibs, no timers. Just an organized fun run, which, according to my Garmin, I finished in about 41(ish) minutes. But still, it was FUN!

These are the girls I'm sharing a hotel room with in Vegas for the Rock & Roll Half Marathon in November. Yeah. I think the four of us will do just fine together.....

After my run, I had to go get the boys from my mom's (she had them this afternoon because Sean had a half day of school, so she picked up The Evanator too), and that amazing woman made me Belgian waffles for dinner!!!!  That was one of the BEST post-race meals I've ever had in my whole life. And... she may or may not have shared some whip cream with the boys.....

BEST MOM/GRANDMA EVER!
