Running Around...Literally!

I've been remiss in blogging for the last few weeks, mainly because we have been in the final weeks of training for the half marathon.  Our weekends are filled with 10+ mile runs and also all the sports that Nathan has been involved in lately.  Well - our efforts finally paid off and we completed the Pittsburgh Half Marathon yesterday morning.  It was a hot morning and the course was very hilly (compared to the flat training runs we did in Jersey), but we both did fairly well.

We were blissfully naive about what was about to happen...

Our groupies came prepared to cheer.

I decided early on that I'd take a few pics along the way since it really wasn't going my already slow pace.  This is heading back towards the city as we're about to cross the first bridge.

Crossing bridge #2.

Here is my proof that I finished.

Randy's good friends from Texas were in town to run the race too.  We met them on Friday night for a few drinks.  I'm sure that had zero impact on our times...

Here are the boys just hanging out at Grammy's house.  Notice the high chair from when I was a baby.

And since we haven't posted in a while, I wanted to share 2 awesome videos of my boys.  The first is of Ryan crawling.  He is already a pro at it and will actually probably start walking in the next few weeks.  Ryan also got his first 2 teeth.  The first came in the day before Easter and the second came in just a few weeks after that.

Then here is Nathan at his first wiffleball practice.  I think the video speaks for itself.
