A little Warm-up running...

What better to do before a run on the beach then enjoy a yummy milkshake...just kidding that's a horrible idea!  However, we had these early in the day so as to not see them again later;)!  They were so yummy. Kacy and Kara had found this cute soda shop on the Strand in Galveston and we didn't just visit it once!!!!

 Oh the submarine...I wasn't a huge fan.  It was so HOT in there!  This picture expresses how I truly felt about it!
 And EVERY race needs a pre-race stretch...or an 80s workout video pose!
 WE survived running a 5k on the beach in the dark wearing headlamps!  It was really a lot of fun!
Me and Kacy post-race!  So fun to have a running buddy who keeps me motivated:)!
I was pretty pumped to have placed 6th out of 60 in my age division!

This was a great way to kick off our 1/2 marathon training for the Fall!!!!  Now if we could just have some cooler weather to run in PLEASE!!!!

Sunday was our 5th Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Gabby's and Poppy's...we always joke that we have to keep "big events" a secret from Addilyn because she ends up sick.  Well Sunday was no different:(...we celebrated my grandmother's birthday at lunch and before lunch was over Addilyn was complaining that her ear was hurting.  Her daddy took her home and after a 4 hour nap...she seemed better.  BUT she missed the Egg Hunt.  Poor Baby!  Keatyn however, did the hunting for both of them.  She scored big;)! ...

After our 1/2 marathon in November we took a break and I decided it was time to include the whole family in my joy of running.  Stephen and I ran the Turkey Trot together and then went back for the girls about mile 2.  It was so fun to see my whole family participating and actually enjoying themselves!  I took the girls to see The Nutcracker at TJC.  It was a neat experience, but one that might could have waited a few years.  Keatyn's response to it was that there was no talking...only dancing!    Of course December brought many things and one of them was The Lindale Christmas parade.  Addilyn and I rode on the float and waved to our family and friends as we rode by them.   Stephen's birthday weekend was filled with none other than...A race!  He wasn't 100% thrilled about it but by the end I think he really did have a good time.  We participated in the White Rock Marathon and ran the relay with a team of 5.  It was cold, wet a...
