Mother’s Day

As far as Hallmark holidays go, Mother’s Day is not a favorite of mine. But when you get flowers like these, your heart just melts a little.

And how about this?

We did the Sea Dogs Mother’s Day 5k. It’s been a few years since we did it and boy has it gotten popular.

Let’s start with, um, wow, I am OOS. OUT.OF. SHAPE. Well, I definitely have shape. It’s called round.

So,on that note, let’s focus on the “race”.

Alec ran his 1st kids run. We got down to the track as the gun went off. Instead of having him run around the track and onto Haddlock Field- we just had him cut out the track part.  It worked out well.

All the kids running into the stadium.

Happy he got a medal!

So happy and proud of himself.

We met up with my college friend Stephanie who was walking with her mom. Steph’s into the marathon running world. She had already run 5 miles before this race. I think she was going for a run afterwards. I don’t think I like running that much.

Here is the family shot.

And all the people and the beautiful sky. It was a great weather.

Crossing the finish line….Erik ran ahead to take the picture. Um…yeah…that says 48 minutes. We were not so fast as we mostly walked but did a few jogs stints. But hey, we got out there and did something and we finished!

The Sea Dogs Father’s Day 5k is in 5 weeks. I told Erik on the way home, well, we can’t get much slower, so I guess we have a goal to beat. He just laughed! We are all signed up…care to join us?
