Soggy 5K

Today was the much anticipated St. Patty's Day fun run!  The boys participated in the kids 1k last year and loved it.  This year we stepped it up a notch!  Zane and Landon rand the 1k again, but then Zane and I ran the 5k right after.  Which - if you're following, means, Zane ran 6K today!

The weather was anything but ideal this morning.  Pouring down rain, windy and flippin' cold!  I was not looking forward to this - but sucked it up and out we went!

Zane rocked both of his runs.  He was 5 overall in the 1k and took 3rd place in his age group for the 5k!  If he really puts his mind and energy towards this, he could really work down his mile-time and really do some serious running!  Not sure if that's the direction he wants to go or not, but I'm happy to support him if it is!










A hot shower has never felt so good!

Bridge

Ever since last year Landon has been asking to walk on this bridge that crosses over I-90.  We used to drive under it every day on the way to daycare.  I told him last summer that we would try to do it over the summer.  That never happened.  Honestly, I had no idea where to park to even get access to it since the only people who used it were people riding their bikes or running on the trail that runs parallel to the freeway.

He still asks every.single.time we drive under it - which is a lot.  He likes to remind me that I told him we could do it and still haven't. Well, this past Saturday as we were heading back home from Seattle he asked yet again.  I decided to try and figure out how/where to get on to it.  Thankfully it was super easy to find.  I was able to find parking on the shoulder and we bolted over it quick before my car got towed!

The boys were in heaven!  Didn't phase them at all that they were just feet (well, a lot of feet) above hundreds of cars zooming 60-80 mph and if God forbid a big earthquake decided to hit at that exact moment we could have all been goners!  Glad I did the worrying for them, because they had a blast! It was a quick trip across, but they enjoyed every second of it.
