Another year, another 5k in Alpine. Always a lovely course. But it seemed more challenging to me this time. Strange, because it is the first time since Julia was born that I have run this one without pushing any kids. (Katy watched all three at the park nearby.) I missed my buddies, but enjoyed the freedom - especially on the uphill. I really tried to push myself, which wasn't easy since I haven't been running a whole lot since Evy was born exactly three months ago. But I came in at a great time and even placed first in my age group. As did Jonny! Mom, Dad, Cami, and Drew also placed.
The kids were really looking forward to this race. Julia tripped at one point but was a trooper and finished strong! Gabe wanted me to carry him for the last little bit, but after minimal encouragement he made it to the end on his own. Excellent. Now we are all exhausted after this early morning and ready to be in bed. It's 7 pm and the kids are asleep. Jonny and I will surely follow suit asap! (Wait a second, Julia just came out. Asap may be a little later than I had hoped...)
Here we are being nerds and posing Olympic-style with our gold, silver, and bronze medals
This is Gabe wanting the camera
This is Julia not wanting her picture taken
Here we are, ready for the Toddler Trot
Gabe made it!
Julia was all-too-excited for this lollipop
See, Evy did join us. She is under there. Underwear?
