Today John and I and a bunch of our friends, completed the Niagara Half Marathon. Here are some of the highlights of today:
- the fact that the rain stopped when we needed it to.
- a kind stranger who offered us the use of her bathroom so that we wouldn't have to use the bushes, or worse yet, a porta potty.
- Gerry, Sarah and Steven watched our kids for us and brought them to the 10 km mark to cheer us on. It totally made me cry, so after seeing them I was gasping for breath while crying and running, which don't go well together. So, I had to quit crying and keep running. Not only did they watch our kids, but they (well, likely Gerry) made sure that we came home to a clean kitchen/house. Thanks, Gerry.
- Being cheered on by total strangers and friends who made the trip to come and cheer us on - thanks Rachel and Jenn!
- John and I were finally able to ditch the very very stinky man that we kept getting stuck behind.
- each one of us crossed the finish line and were happy with our times. John and I crossed the finish line holding hands, which my brother and nephews have told me is super lame. However, I think that they're just jealous because they would have liked to have held John's hand.
- Going out for pizza with our kids.
- WE DID IT!
So, are you running alongside me and the girlies on November 6 in Hamilton? It's only 5 K. That'd be a walk in the park for you now. I'd love to see you there...... spot
ReplyDeleteSarah, I thought of you today - specifically how you run with your girlies in the jogging stroller. You are a rock star. What run is it? I may consider it...
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, I like your sense of humour. Funny funny.
I'm secretly, or maybe publicly, thrilled that Caleb likes lego and can do it. That means I get to play with it again. I have a new hobby.
Thanks for posting on my blog. I don't actually know how to post back to you, so I'm commenting on this post.
Thanks for praying for Caleb. Today was a good day.
Jess
