Another busy weekend in the Tooley house. This year we ALL participated in the Twin Cities Marathon activities. So glad the weather was better than last year :)
Josilyn started us off Sat. morning with the Toddler Trot - a 50 yd. dash in front of the Capital. She loved it! She was all smiles during the run and even asked for "more running" once she was done. We debated letting her run it again with the older kids, but thought maybe we'd better pass this year. She was so proud of her medal and t-shirt.
Early this morning Ryan and I were up and ready for our respective races. I did the 10-mile and LOVED it. I think this is probably the right distance for me going forward. The scenery was gorgeous and the weather felt perfect. Maybe a little chilly for the spectators, but we really couldn't have asked for anything better.
Ryan competed in the full marathon for the 4th year in a row. He started out strong again this year with a group of guys he's been training with ... although I don't think he had quite as much fun as Josilyn and I. There's a little difference in our competitive natures. Needless to say Ry finished great in our eyes. I would give anything to run as fast as he does!
Now some much needed REST time. Then we start planning our next family adventure!!!
