Last night I ran my second 5K of the summer....of my life for that matter. I had asked long time friend Holly if she wanted to participate in the Roland Dyer Memorial Run. She was easily convinced as her visiting cousin/long distance runner Justin was a shoe in. She convinced Ciara to do the run as well. Ciara was nervous all day, having run about 2 miles the day before and struggling. Justin, Ciara and I each won for our age groups. Justin is a very good runner and Ciara had the best time of the three of us "adults", Holly was next just ahead of me. The lesson I've learned from these races is you don't have to be fast to win, just the lone entry. We all felt great afterward and enjoyed some Spanky's pizza and sandwiches. Ciara and I will try to do another before the end of the summer because.....why not. We didn't have our camera at the event so once I get the rest of the photos from Nanny 'J' I'll post them. Tomorrow, Ciara and I head for Cobscook bay for a 2 night camping trip with the boys. The trip should be a blast.

Congratulations guys! I'm so proud of you *sniff sniff*. Seriously - it's cool that you ran the 5K together. After the new babe is born maybe I'll have to join in the fun too. For now I can be the photographer on the sidelines, when I remember my camera.
Have a GREAT time up in Cobscook Bay. Would love to get back up there with you guys maybe before the end of the summer? Maybe Labor Day?
