Hobble Creek 2010

I ran the Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon again this year. I ran this same one last year, but last year I was alone. It was much better to have a friend to do it with this year. Stacie who was out of commision for a year with a pregnancy, came back. And she came back with a vengeance. She is solid, consistent, strong, competitive, and awesome. She kicked this half's butt and came in at 1:58. That is an awesome time. I came in at 2:11. Which does beat my last years time for this course by 9 minutes. I am proud of that. This is not my favorite race and I doubt I will do it again. They don't start on time and that to me, is just mean. The first 6 or 7 miles of this course are beautiful. But the last half I could do without.
That being said, I still loved our sleepover at Stacie's moms house the night before, I LOVED our awesome dinner we had that night at Pizzeria 7-12. And I had a great time! Proud of our accomplishment and proud that we finished another race. Congratulations Stacie my friend, Thank you for sharing this with me!

A bit wasted, sweaty, and tired right after the finish line.

Recovering and reminiscing with each other..



The BEST Cheerleaders ever! Izzy was at a waterski activity, but other then that, they NEVER miss a race. I appreciate my support team.. Thank you guys!
I LOVE YOU!!


Sister To Be

I have a new sister to be, her name is Stephanie, she stole Anthony's heart and gave him a brand new start {yes I'm rhyming} And I want to welcome her to the family.
We went to her lovely bridal shower, we got lost on our way there, I trusted Gen to not make us late, and learned that was a big mistake!
But we got there just in time you see to play games and meet some new friends, We laughed and ate well, and enjoyed this new beautiful girl, And then I had to go pee..




OOOO LAA LAA!!!



Happy Groom

One game we played: Stephanie had to answer questions about Anthony and everytime she got one wrong, she had to put a gumball in her mouth..


She wasn't very good at this game...



Gen was not only bad with directions that night, but she tried to cheat too! She was trying to whisper the answers to Steph and so she had to eat some gum too..


Spitting out her Big WAD of gum.. It was much bigger than it looks here... CHEERS to the Happy, Beautiful Couple!!
