Weekend Review

We traveled to North Augusta this past weekend for the Augusta Half Marathon which was on Sunday. The girls had a full weekend and playing and keeping busy. Ms. Riddle and I took the girls to Target Saturday morning and spend about an hour looking for ME and Grayson some shoes. ME wanted no part in shoes, which if she doesn't like them at the store means she will NOT wear them. Finally we found some tennis shoes for both of them, of course with sparkles! While Grayson took a nap, Ben and I took ME with us to pick up our packets and get stuff for the race. When Grayson woke up Ms. Riddle and I took the girls to the park, feed the ducks, and walked along the river front. We were looking for a bakery and ended up at the Fresh Market, where we got some petite fours and a huge peanut butter cupcake that ME picked out. We headed home to fix our pasta dinner so we would be ready for the race.

This was the first time Ben and I did the same race, which was really cool! We had a great time at the race. Despite the SUPER hilly course and headwind Ben and I both had PR's. I ran a :127:30 and Ben ran a 1:51. My best time before this weekend was 1:29:06, so I'm very pleased!! Ben had a good time, especially since this was his first half. I think I can talk him in to doing some more, maybe in another week or so! :) We have the best support team. My in-laws couldn't have been any more supportive. They were there cheering and taking care of the girls for us. It was so nice to see the girls at the finish, nothing makes me smile more. We are just so thankful to have a family that loves to come watch us and gets excited for us. Not to mention being there all morning, get up early, getting ready, getting the girls ready, parking, getting to the girls down there, etc. I could just go on and on about how great they are!!! Here are some pictures they took from the race this weekend.
