Dam to Dam and a blog you just have to read

You all need to go to this blog Kelle Hampton...well, everyone except Betsy.  Betsy, you are absolutely not allowed to read this blog until AFTER you have your baby.  Deal????  When you pull up her blog, go down to the very bottom.  There's a heading called popular posts.  Start reading the first post that says Nella Cordelia: A Birth Story.  I've been following her for a while and have read this particular post many a time.  She has an awesome way with words.  She's a photographer and her pictures are awesome.  She must take a bazillion pictures a day.  Maybe some of you are already following her.  If you all aren't crying by the end of the post, well, then you're all just dead inside....dead!!!

If you're not dead, then you'll thank me for sending you over to her blog.  Maybe I'm overhyping it, but I just happen to like her blog a lot.

Anyways..........I ran the Dam to Dam earlier this month.  I only ran the 5K, and believe me, that was plenty.  Maybe I'll actually keep running and do the 20k next year.  That's a big maybe.  I have a feeling I'll be running the 5k again.  It was super fun and SUPER crowded.  It was a zoo.  I finished 20 seconds under my goal time.  No, I won't tell you what it was.  Let's just say that I'm certain I could have done a ton better if I would have trained more than once every two weeks....pathetic, I tell ya.

They have a kids' run where they break the kids up according to their age.  I ran with Drew in the 100 meter.  He had a lot of fun.  I can't believe Jake didn't get a picture of him running.  He didn't get a picture of me either.  He said he was right at the finish line but didn't see me cross.  I totally believe him.  With 11,000 people running, it was super crazy.

Shea did awesome in her run.  If you know Shea, you know that she lives to run.  She totally kicked butt in her 200 meter and WON her race.  She was so stinkin' fast.  There were about 50-60 kids in her race.  Drew and I got her to the start line and then hussled to the midway point to watch her.  Drew was such a good little cheerleader.  Jake caught a  pic of her crossing the finish line.  According to Jake, the boy behind her was way behind her but was trying to make a last ditch effort.......good try little guy but not against my girl.  She's dying to do another race now.

This next one is only about a tenth of the people getting ready to run the 5k.

 
I hope you all had a great weekend celebrating Father's Day!!
