Bloomsday Success!

The whole gang rallied yesterday to join 45,000 others in the annual Bloomsday Race in Spokane http://www.bloomsdayrun.org/ . Shannon, Buddy, Chris and our friend Craig set out running, while Diana and big belly took to the streets at a slightly slower pace...yet we all finished (as did Deb and the boys!) in good time and good spirits.

Shannon ran the 7.5 miles in 1 hr, 14 minutes and Diana finished in a minute over 2 hours. We were so energized by the crowds and beautiful spring weather that we ended up walking back to Marilyn's house to make it about a 10 mile day!!!

Surprisingly, we were both pretty agile getting out of bed this morning!

A big thanks goes out to Gramma/Marilyn/PG for hosting the best Pre-Race Pasta Feed ever and then watching all the grandkids so that we could have the freedom to do the race! Three cheers for Marilyn!!!
