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.

Marathon Complete!

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

Rachel got up around 5 this morning and left the house before 5:45.  The marathon actually started at 7.  Rachel texted me at 8am that she had just passed Mile 5.

Noah and I picked up Grandma and Papa just before 9 and went downtown to meet Rachel at the finish line.  At 9:10, I got a text from Rachel that she had just passed Mile 12.  Assuming a 10-minute mile pace, I figured we had 10 minutes then to get to the finish line.  We all walked really fast.  Noah was able to keep up with me.  I would say about 4-5 minutes at the most and we saw Rachel cross the finish line.

After the race, we met Deborah for brunch.  We tried to go to Chez Zee but that had an hour wait.  We ended up going to Russell's Bakery.

Deborah drove Rachel back to her car at the start line while I drove home with Grandma, Papa and Noah.

We weren't home long before Noah and I went and picked up Evan from Josh's.

When Rachel got home, we walked over to Grandma and Papa's and I helped Papa hang the TV above the fireplace.  Evan rode his bike over.  Then he and Papa rode their bikes to the Veloway.  They really had a good time.

At dinner time, we went to HEB to get stuff for the week.  We also got the movie Fantastic Four and ordered pizza from Papa John's.  We had a family movie night tonight.

The boys are about to go to bed.

Until next time...
