Denville 5K

On Saturday Ryan and I ran in the Denville 5K. Ryan has done countless races, but this was my first one and I was just praying I would finish it! Aunt Meghan and Tod came to help Lily cheer us on while we ran. The Andersens and Foxes were also there running with us. Everyone kept asking if Ryan and I were going to run together and for those of you who know Ryan, I don't even have to answer that question. I mean it was a race, what do you think? ;) Kellie and I ran, and ran the whole thing, which I was very proud of. We finished in 33 minutes - 1 minute over our goal and Ryan finished in 24 minutes. Brian and Dawn ran together - how nice for a husband and wife to do that - and they finished in 27 minutes. Jay and Nola came running in just after Kellie and I around 37 minutes. We all went out for a celebratory breakfast after the race. Kel - thanks for running with me. I wouldn't have run the whole thing without you. Meg and Tod - thank for coming to cheer us on. It was great to see you guys!

It was another beautiful day so we ran home to get Bails and spent the day at Lewis Morris Park with the Pohlmans. There was a little pond and beach there so Lily got to feel the sand in her toes for the first time! After the park we headed back to the Pohlmans for a BBQ and as much R&R as you can get with a 7 month old and a 1 1/2 year old. :)
