Memorial Day 2012






 The above pictures are from the Boys Town 5 Mile Memorial Day Run.  I have finally been back to running for the last 4 months and it feels good.  If I want to be healthy and be around for my family I can't make excuses to not exercise anymore.  The route was a little more hilly than I had anticipated but I still came in under my goal time of 45 minutes.  I finished in 43:47.  The girls and Jason woke up at 6:45 to come and cheer me on...it was awesome!  I wanted to stop and walk at mile 4.75 and at the top of the hill  I hear "MOOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYYYY!"  I looked up and there they were...my babies and my hubby!  I had to finish strong for them!  I will continue to run all summer and I have been training for the Omaha Half Marathon on September 23rd.  The last time I ran this one was in 2007...5 years ago.  I am excited...except for the awful hills!  Who knows...I may just have one more FULL marathon in me?!
 The rest of the pics are from a Memorial Day cookout that we hosted for my family at our house.  We got a new patio and fence put in a few weeks back so it is nice to be able to sit outside and not worry about someone running off!  The patio isn't completely finished. We still have landscaping to put in around it and around the deck and we will be purchasing a fire pit soon...can't wait!
