Spring Burst 5k/10k

So we have been super busy lately, but I'm not sure what we've done. Paul loves his job and I'm loving spending time with Reece (right now he's shaking his crib bars trying to convince me to let him out of bed without a nap). We've had game nights with Staci, Dave and Kyle, we visited Silver Falls near Salem (possible pictures to come soon), and most importantly for this post, I somehow convinced the lot of us to run a race. Paul ran the 10k and Reece, Kyle, baby and I walked the 5k. Paul did really well and ended up getting 3rd in his age category with a time of 50:32. Our 5k time was around 54 minutes, if that gives you any idea of how awesome Paul is. He literally ran circles around us, as the 10k track just doubled the 5k track. Reece also did amazingly well, thanks to uncle Kyle's iPod touch and it's accompanying Angry Birds game.


The belly in this shot is 33 weeks. And yes, I pushed a double jogging stroller. That doesn't make me awesome, just desperate. Reece was on one side and Curious George on the other. I tried to convince Kyle to let me sit while he pushed all of us, but I guess I'm too heavy these days. Darn. Here's to many more family fun runs!

Way to go. You almost motivate me to go run a 5k. But only about 3k worth, and who ever heard of running a 3k?

That's so cool! Way to go. And I think it's awesome that Kyle did it with you guys, too.
