we did it!

we completed our 10k (6.2 miles) this morning in just over 56 minutes. it was a cool misty morning, the kids and a couple friends (nicole and katie) ventured out to this race and it was so much fun! here we are before.


the course was flat, the kids did really well...i broke out the cheerios at mile 4. i was unprepared for how much i would stand out with a bright green double stroller...i'm used to running races somewhat anonymously. here we are after.


after the 10k, marit ran her 100 foot tot trot and had so much fun



and look who got off work (after overnight call) just in time to see her finish! she could not have been more excited with her daddy and her ribbon!


it was a really fun family event and marit is still wired from all the gatorade...

You know Ellen, I was thinking on my run this morning about how not only did you beat your running buddies WITH a jogging stroller but you are also a nursing mama as well - 2 thumbs up to you girl! :)
