Fourth of July

We have had a very busy weekend with lots of swimming and family!  Juliana also got to run her first 1K this morning, while Ashley ran the 5K. Juliana has been "training" in the mornings, but it all fell apart at the run.  She got mad, walked off, and wanted to be carried after about .1 miles.  Life with a toddler, unpredictable and full of excitement (aka tantrums).

She was the youngest kid in the race and looked adorable. My hope is that we can instill a love for exercise so she stays active and healthy - both mentally and physically. As for my 5K, well I finished! This was after drinking a bottle and half of wine yesterday, eating junk food, and waking up at 5:30AM to get ready. I had a lot on my mind and ran for my Cuz James - he is in ICU due to complications from cancer. He is more like a brother to me, and seeing someone you love suffering really puts life into perspective.
