New Town's 5K

Well, I actually did it.  Anne and I ran about 12 minute miles.  She practically pulled me the whole way.  I think I would have given up if it were not for Anne.  So, thanks!  Now, about New Town that is an interesting place.  It's very Edward Scissor Hands like.  I had to include some pictures.  The place is beautiful,  but just a bit different.  I wish I had clients there because everywhere you look there's a backdrop.  There were a lot of people at the run.  I have to say I was a bit bummed out that I didn't get the goodie bag.  They did not do things very well.  They passed out the bags and shirts at the end, so you had to run fast enough to beat the first 200 people.  Then, they didn't give us water at the end and we had to STAND in line for shirts.  When you get done running you want to walk not stand.  But really, no water, come on!  We did get food tickets, but after we got our food Anne stepped off the curb and twisted her ankle.  Not because of any fault of her own.  They put this black mat over an uneven grate on the ground, so she couldn't tell that it was not even.  I'm not too sure I'll be doing that run next year, but I was proud to have finished it this year without walking!

Before the run we went to the block party at my parents house.  They always have the fire truck come by and see the kids.  It's a lot of fun and good bbq.  The boys stayed at the party with Ooma and Pop (Grandma and Grandpa).  They had a good time and ate NOTHING good for them.
