Run, Run, Daddy, Run!

Today Matt ran the City to Sea half marathon!  This is the fourth time he has run it and each year the weather keeps us on our toes.  This year it was a cool morning (low 50's) but got up to over 90 by noon.  Yikes!  Thankfully the run is very early and Matt was able to avoid most of the heat.  

The kids and I arrived at the park a bit early and they played before the ran the kids fun run.  A bit tricky because Mason wanted to run it with me, holding hands.  Thankfully Anna and Olivier ran on their own.  It is hard to run with a backpack full of stuff for the kids and Matt!  Yikes!  They all finished and got metals.  They got the first three bibs too!  (Sorry for the crummy photo of them, they were getting warm so the shirts with the numbers were coming off but I wanted a photo of them on first).  

(Many thanks to Leslie for getting and sending this photo!  It is much better and shows the kiddos with their metals!)

Matt was all smiles as he made the home stretch!  

 And a quick stop just before the finish line to give a hug to his three amazing kiddos!

 And the five of us enjoying the view!

 Way to go Daddy!  We are very proud of you!  (And thank you for no over doing it and getting hurt!)  :-)
