Happy Fourth!

Boom! Bam! Pow!

(Those were your exciting fireworks)

We did it! We completed the Peachtree 10K all in our own way. Step-mom and brothers, Colin and Mike, ran the whole thing. Pregnant sister Megan, niece-to-be Lainie (sp Meg?) and hubbie Brent waddled, while Dad and I walked a very brisk pace set by Dad. Jeez, he nearly killed me! It's funny, I decided to walk kind of at the last minute, for a few reasons (mainly cause I was so slack in my training these last few months), and it was a lot more fun to walk with Dad than to slog up those dang hills by myself. But, lemme tell you: walkin ain't exactly a picnic- I am sooo sore toady. Still, the 6 miles flew by as we watched all the crazy bystanders cheering us on with their goofy outfits, signs, and very patriotic pets (not just dogs, either; we saw a cat in one woman's arms!)

I'll post pictures as soon as I return to Portland, cause I'm still in the ATL hanging out with the fambly....
