The weather is turning soon so I made sure to appreciate today's delightful running conditions. 

Oh, and I took the boy.

  We stopped for some pictures.

Then raced the sun home.

thrill-seeking lego athletes

We believe that Brenda's latest lego creation was inspired by the TV show "Wipe Out".

Have you seen it?

It's one of Brenda's favorites.

Sadly, it looks like none of her contestants got very far...

Nobody likes a braggart.

So I won't go on and on about my PR (personal record) 10k time.  ...53:46.  I won't.  ...That's 8:40 pace.  That's all I'll say.  That's it.   I really should just keep it to myself since I said earlier in the summer that I wanted to do a 10k in less than 50 minutes, before Fall.   ...Failed.

Totally failed.

And yet, I'm still JAZZED!!!

The 8 attending RA members gathered at the start.  (RA, Runners Anonymous, is the coolest facebook group of all facebook groups I am sure.)

 Solana, me, and Sheri.  Just LOOK at that view!

Just Mommy and me.  (Book reference!)

I'm not the only one that PR'ed.  Mom and Solana can be braggarts too!  And we'll hang out, just the three of us, 'cause nobody likes a braggart.  ...Unless you're a braggart yourself.  Then you can just hang out with other braggarts.  ...And have smoothies. 

Do my pins interest you?

So out of curiosity I joined Pinterest.  Everyone else is doing it.  Then found out it's pronounced pintrest.  ?  Then got bored.  I'm never really gonna do anything with this.  Then got annoyed.  Thank you for the email every 30 seconds.  Then got even.  Make me sift through lame stuff.  I'll show you...

So I started pinning things like this:

and this:

...then starting thinking, Oh this is fun!

Now, I'm not completely wasting time.  I found a few things that seem to more fully embrace the Pinterest spirit-

...but I'm not touching my floors and that dress would look terrible on me.

Back to the good stuff...

HAHAHAHAAA!

I think Brenda could give lessons on proper decorum in the doctors office.
