Midway 5K

I know what you're thinking--

I said I wasn't much of a runner...and I'm not.

Look again people, it was a 5K!

The contestants on the biggest loser can even run a 5K (and by the way, said thought crossed my mind many a time as I tried to motivate myself to continue running)

I signed up with 8 weeks to train, and began my "Couch to 5K training" which I changed to "Baby 8 months ago training"... I was sticking to the plan of running everyday--for about a week. Then I fizzed. Crashed and burned. Got lazy, and didn't enjoy feeling like a fat lard galloping down the street.

(ok that last one was a little over exaggerated, but you get the point)

So, the week of the race, Ryan asked me if we were still going to run in it. Crapola. I had signed us up and paid the fee...so we decided to do it.

Little did we know that the leisurely 5K was a trail run! In a mountainous area, fully equipped with lots and lots of hills. Great.

But, I finished! And I actually enjoyed myself. I may not be a runner, but I think I could do another 5K :)

Here's what I think...

My baby boy is just the cutest.

The end.

Buddies

Camden and his cousin Brinley have become quite the pair!

She is the sweetest little 15 month old toddler you will ever meet...

She spent a lot of time handing toys to Camden, and once she realized each one of those toys went straight to his mouth, she began putting the toys straight there for him!

We don't see her as often as we would like (they live in Idaho), but when we do, it sure is fun to watch them interact-

Hooray for Cousins! There are also many boy cousins coming along in the near future... Ronda and Doug are having a little boy and so are Mike and Regan! All in December :) That will be a total of 4 boys born within about a year-- so many buddies
