Goosebumps

Last week simply flew by -

With Ryan out of the country for the week- on business

(heehee is Canada really out of the country?)

It really made me appreciate him more

And realize how much a dad and hubby are needed in the home

Little mini training runs on Monday and Friday

Saturday held little hope of miles

Save a tiny miniscule little road race

But still, I was so excited about it

I'd signed our whole family up for a free run put on by the hospital

It's their annual "Goosebumps" race

That highlights the hospital's committment to heart health

A 1 miler

A 3 miler

Free

Perfect opportunity to get everyone out

I signed us up good and early

When I told my hubby I'd signed him up for a race

He gave me "the look"

you know - the one that says

"Don't even think about it"

That was a month ago

And well, I guess he missed us last week too

Because Saturday he laced up his sneakers and together with:

My daughter Kate-11,

My Son, Riley-8

And my little Molly -4

We set off for 1 mile of family fun.

Before the run, I asked my sis-in-law to take a snapshot of our gang

This is newsworthy-

I can't remember the last time we took a family pic!

I think we tried last Easter for one- but someone was crying-

This shot doesnt even have kids looking  at us or all smiling

But I don't care I love it anyway

our family

Took a snapshot of RunningMommaOf2's fam too!

Can you tell I'm super short from the angle?

The actual 1 miler was really non-eventful

My son Riley, and his cousin, J really tore it up!

Molly had alot of energy and sprinted almost the whole way

Hubby and I stayed with Kate

Running is not her friend yet.

We walked, and jogged

It was harder for her than I expected.

I really loved having hubby and kids join in on this run

Don't know if it will be repeated

But it was fun, fairly painless as far as logistics go

And free~

And it made me soooooo proud!
