Kirkwood 5K









Everything on me and in me was sore Sunday morning at 6am when I was getting up for the next 5k of the weekend.  I knew that I would only be walking.  What I did not plan on was bringing the police car in.  :)  We were almost dead last.  My back had been giving me trouble before the Saturday night run and still was not perfect Sunday and on top of that I was sore from running.  Anne's ankle was giving her problems and she had both of her boys with her, so all that put together put us almost last.  I put the time sheet on the blog to have proof that we were not actually THE LAST!  It was a fun walk.  At the end there were things for the kids to do, my son Noah was with us, but he went ahead with Aunt Jenn.  He did not slow us down once he went on.  

Before the run they had a memorial for the people who died in the court house Feb. 2009.  It was really nice.  The color guard and bag pipes were there.  802 runners signed up for the run and more than 643 were actually in the run.  Some of the people I was with didn't sign up, Noah was not registered and I'm sure a lot of the other kids were not officially registered either.  It was a great event.  They had a lot of treats after the run.  We got water while on the course and bottles of water, soda and even beer after.

We wrapped up the weekend with marshmallows at the neighbors house in their fire pit.  It was yummy!  The boys loved it and I have to admit so did Byron and I.
