Yesterday we woke up at 5 am, got the kids up, and made the drive up to Spokane for Bloomsday! I had a great time and I'm so glad I did it. The only thing that could have been better was the weather. Luckily it didn't rain on us but it was cloudy and cold. It wasn't nice enough for Zada and Troy to stay outside, and none of the stores were open. I felt bad that Ted had to keep the kids in the car to watch a movie while I ran. All three of them got a nap while I was running though, so maybe I shouldn't feel so bad.

I finished 9,816 out of 44,490 people in 1 hour, 17 minutes. That was a bit of a disappointment. I wanted to do it under 1:15. But running with 45,000 people was a very cool experience.

We went to the mall after the race so that Troy could play before we headed home. 

It was great to finish a goal. My feet were killing me yesterday, but I don't feel sore today at all. Now on to a half marathon!

Yay! Way to go Annette.
I think you did an amazing job. Proud of you. Good Job Ted that takes a lot of patience :)
That is SO awesome Annette!!! You only missed your goal by two minutes - I'm sure that's so dissapointing to be so close, but still that is GREAT!
If I could just figure out a way to go running without being even more sleep deprived, then I think I may want to start running. When do you manage to work out and where?
p.s. I just read Troy's cute quotes on the side bar - so funny! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to share them with Aaron - he'll get a kick out of it!
Hey, I didn't know you were a runner! This is Jennifer Voelkel, by the way. :) I'm running the Teton Dam Half Marathon in Rexburg on June 13th! I've been running my tail off since January. Glad to hear you had a good experience...I'm starting to get nervous!
Way to go!

Hey Anette, I'd be glad to show you the magnetic quiet book. I'm home pretty much all the time. You're welcome to come over whenever you want to as long as you don't mind wading through boxes. haha. Just let me know!
