We had a great (and finally healthy!) weekend. Friday started with Spencer's first dentist visit and me taking the day off to hang with the kids. We went to the new children's garden exhibit at the botanic gardens and then spent Friday night at Family Fun Night where the kids go to daycare - Spencer played in the jumpy castle and we ate dinner with some friends. Saturday morning we went as a family to the pumpkin patch. Spencer especially loved the tractor train ride. We still cannot get over what a big kid he has become. It was amazing for us to think back a year and how we were only a family of three at the pumpkin patch. And here's our little munchkin about to turn 9 months. A special thanks to all the grandparents for the very adorable halloween shirts which make the pumpkin pictures extra festive.
Saturday night Jon and I got all dressed up and headed to a really nice fundraising event that honored one of the attorneys I work with and supported an organization that provides services for abused children. Jon and I were the winning bidder in the silent auction for a night at a nice hotel in Vail with dinner and breakfast. Time to dust off my skis!
Sunday morning was the half marathon and I felt really great. I finished in 2 hours, 4 minutes which put me in the top 25% for women and in my age group and gave me an average running pace of 9:24 per mile. After last weekend in the emergency room I still probably had a little more in me but I was really happy with how I felt. And it was such a great run...it seemed like the entire city was out cheering. Admittedly I was all too happy to be running 13.1 miles and not the full 26.2 but I still have two more weeks to recover before the big day! My running buddies and kids came over for bagels and mimosas after and then it was a relaxing stretch into Monday.
