the runs and such

Rebekah hiding in the Christmas tree box:

I had stomach flu, but I ran the 5K anyway. It was hard. I swear it was uphill the whole way. I'm proud of myself. Here is before, with Rebekah:
Here is Aubrey before the race, just because she looked cute all sleepy and such:

At the finish line, taken with Rebekah's cell phone because the camera battery had just died:

After the 5K my day was sleeping, punctuated by "runs" to the bathroom. So I didn't make Thanksgiving dinner. Jerry had to go out and get takeout at the only restaurant he could find open. We basically failed at Thanksgiving. But this morning (the day after Thanksgiving) I got up feeling better and made a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We ate it at 7:45 AM. Here we are:

The absolute best part of this post is when Aubrey says, "this better not go on your blog!" Ha Ha Ha!! I love it!! It is the same thing that I would do to my family! I am so sorry that you were sick yesterday...but way to go on running the race! You must have a lot of hutzpah! I also can't believe that you had Thanksgiving dinner ready so early in the morning! I guess since you slept all day on Thursday, you must have been up all night cooking! Hope you had a great day!

Wow good for you for running sick. That is pretty amazing. I'm very proud! I love the pics. Eating thanksgiving dinner that early is awesome. I love it. I like the video with the christmas music in the background. Very festive.

Congratulations on your first competitive run. So few people can honestly say they had runs on the run.

Congratulations on your run (not the runs..)! Way to go! So did it all taste better that early in the morning?
