Noah's Half Marathon + NYC Trip for Rachel and Morry

Noah ran the half marathon a week ago.  He did great and got an even better time than last year!  His time was around 1hr 50 minutes.

I had a travel conference in New York last week, so Morry came with me.  We stayed in Midtown Manhattan.

It was a busy few days but a lot of fun.  

Oh, and I don't think I wrote about Scott and Fran coming to visit.  They were here right at the end of Christmas break, and we had a really nice time with them.

And we got a freeze with a little bit of ice, so Evan had to scrape the ice off his car for the first time.

Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

Noah's Half Marathon, Parker, West Palm Beach

 On January 22, Noah ran his first half marathon.  We are so proud of him. He got a great time too - under 2 hours! His official chip time was 01:56:53 .  He met his school group at the start and ran with his friend, Jackson the whole time.

We have a new foster dog, Parker.  He's sweet and cuddly.  He's black, but looks just like a golden retriever.  He will hopefully be getting adopted in a few days.

Also, we all went to the RBI fundraiser event.  Morry and I were invited by the Mantis and the boys volunteered. 

Over the weekend Grandma/Mom and I went to West Palm Beach to visit Maureen and Doug.  We had a very nice time.

Yesterday, Austin started getting a cold, winter storm.  We are lucky we were able to get home.   Today and tomorrow schools are canceled.  

I taught my classes over Zoom.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

Half-Marathon + Day Off

Yesterday, I left the house around 6:15am for the half marathon.  It was 31 degrees at the start of the run.   I did pretty well for about the first half, but then I got some stomach cramps and had to slow down.  I ended up finishing in just under 2 1/2 hours.  Deborah met me around mile 8.5 and ran the rest of the way with me.

Morry, Noah, Grandma, and Papa met me at the finish line.

Morry went to Evan's baseball scrimmage game.

Grandma, Papa, Noah, Deborah, and I met Holly (Suzanne's sister) and her family at Kerbey Lane for brunch.

Later in the day I took Noah to Sunday school and then went to Evan's flag football game.

Morry and Evan picked up Noah from Sunday school and then they picked up food from Me Con Bistro for all of us.

Today, the kids and I had off from school.

Evan and Noah went with Morry into the office for a little a while.  I got some things done around the house and was able to rest a little bit.

I tutored one student this afternoon.

For dinner, we had steak and shrimp.

Noah finished his science fair project tonight.  Morry helped him edit and print his reports and I helped glue them on the display board.

Noah the boys are playing video games until it's time for bed.

Here are some pictures from yesterday.

Half Marathon and Football Game

This morning I left the house at 6:15am for the 3M Half Marathon.  This is my third year in a row.

I finished in 2 hours and 23 minutes. It was a little slower than last year, but I'm still recovering from my ankle sprain and the weather was very gross. It was around 60 degrees, very humid, and sprinkling some.  I'm glad to have finished.  I wasn't sure I was going to be able to finish it. 

Deborah met me along the course and ended up running the last 5-6 miles with me.

Morry, the boys, and Grandma and Papa met me at the finish line. 

Then, we went to First Watch for lunch.

Evan had a football game this afternoon.  He was not happy about the way his team played, but they still won. The score was 2-0.

From there, the kids went to Sunday School.

With Grandma and Papa we picked up the kids from Sunday School and then had dinner at Tarbouch.

Now the kids should be getting ready for bed.  It's been a long day for all of us.

Here are a few pictures.

Another Long Day

This morning I woke up at 5:45am.  The 3M Half Marathon started at 7:30am.   It was very windy today. There were winds up to 40 miles per hour.  I ran the half marathon in 2 hours 17 min.  Morry, the kids, and Papa met me at the finish line.  Then, they drove me to pick up my car near the start line.

Noah needed to use the restroom so we went inside to World Market (near where I parked).  I let the kids pick out 2 small things of candy each.

We dropped Papa off back at home.

We were home for just a little bit and then it was time to go to Noah's football game.  He played very well and his team won!

In the afternoon I got lunches ready for the week.

Morry and the boys watched the Steelers game.

We had shish kabobs for dinner.

The boys are getting ready for bed now.

Evan is in a terrible mood right now.
