5k fun.....

Last weekend Dan and I both ran in a local 5k race for St. Patricks Day. We had originally planned on taking the kids and pushing strollers and making it a fun family day.....however the weather didn't cooperate and we choose not to take the kids. LUCKILY...Grandpa Paul and Grandpa Ann were here to tote the kids to a birthday party where it was nice and warm.

We both did pretty good....well...at least that's what I thought....Dan seems to think he should be running faster.

Dan's time: 22:33( that seems pretty damn fast to me)
Monica's time: 30:03

He says "I ran 7 minutes faster in college". This is when I remind him that was 15-20 years ago! I think he did great and was so proud of him for running in a race with me! I think I got his competitive juices flowing now and hopefully will convince him to do some more!

After the race we enjoyed the Missoula Downtown St. Patricks Day parade. The kids loaded up on lots of candy!

Today Dan went skiing and I ran another 5k with some friends. This time the kids had to come. This is how the morning went:

Jackson screaming because he didn't want to be in the snuggly with the blanket on him. "blanket off....I done!". He eventually fell asleep. Hannah half way through the race crying "I'm cold....i want the other mittens....my feet are cold" I tell her "put the blanket over your legs." She says "It doesn't help". Then throwing a huge fit because she didn't get an orange slice.(at least this was in the car with no witnesses!) :)

Good grief...people probably think I have some pretty whiney kids. Maybe the problem was the late bedtime last night? Oh well....at least they got some fresh air this morning.

Hopefully we'll make it to the park today.
