Pumpkin time



Well it is that time a year again, pumpkin carving time! Ben did his part in cutting and the kids did the digging. Me, I just watched. The girls didn't want to get their hands dirty, paint works best for us.

Skating

Well Allison started her skating competition season this last weekend and did very good!! She got third in both her solo events. Way to go Allison!!! Can't wait to see you in the up coming events.

Monster Dash


Here I am doing another race, The Monster Dash 13.1. Well I didn't make it to 13.1 only made it to 10. My body for the first time shut down on me. But I did 10 and had fun now time to rest the body to get ready for another season.

26.2

Before the race- a bit nervous!!
Meeting our family at mile 24 to give high fives

I did 26.2 miles today and I told myself a year ago that I would never do it and here I am! Cousin Bob helped me get through the race side by side. I don't know what I would of done without him. It felt great until mile 24-25 when I hit that wall but I toughed it out and ran to the finish line holding my partners hand. I DID IT!! Even under 5 hours, who would of thought!!! Would I do it again, I guess ask me when my blisters on my feet heal up. Thank you to my friends and family that came out to support me. I even got to run a little with my brother with his encouraging words. Now I have to rest and heal my body. Thanks WOOT WOOT
