Todd crosses the finish line in his 5K.


Well, we ran with Todd and Team Longhorn today in the Biggest Loser's Sweetheart Run. Todd and the team ran the 5K first. His boss, Jon, came down to run it with the team. It was neat to have him there. Todd finished the race in just over 30 minutes...not to bad for an old guy! I am proud of him for even attempting it. He finished around the middle of the pack which is good for him. After he rested up for a few minutes, he turned right around and joined me and the girls in the running of the one mile! Bailey and Sarah wanted to run it after last year seeing their dad do the 5K. I somehow got hoodwinked into joining them. I hate running. I can walk to the moon and back, but running is just not my thing...never has been. I was dreading this, but wanted to be supportive of Todd and the girls. All Bailey wanted was a trophy. She had her heart set on it, and Todd and I had our back up plan of if she didn't get one, we were swinging by the trophy shop on the way home to get her one ourselves! LOL Well, she proved to us she didn't need that trip because she finished 2nd in her age division! She was so excited! Sarah also finished 2nd in her age division! Todd finished 2nd as well in the one mile, and shocker of them all, I finished 3rd in my age group! Not too bad for a woman who hates running! And just for the record, my time was faster than Todd's, but they separate out males and females.....and even though I am giving Todd hell for my time beating his, I have to give him props because he ran a 5K prior to running the 1 mile so he was a bit whipped! After the race, we all were exhausted! We stayed for Bailey and Sarah to get their trophies and we got our trophy coffee mugs! We headed home for some showers and lunch, and then poor Todd had to head into work until ten tonight....he is tired and his legs cramped up a bit from the run. Hope he doesn't suffer too bad tonight and tomorrow.

The other happenings of the week include the loss of our second cat, Oliver. He was hit by a car just like Shaft was. So needless to say, we are done with cats...outside or not. The previous owners of our house had three cats and all three have come back to live here, so we have cats but they just are not ours per se. Bailey took it pretty hard. We had to console her for a few days. It was not fun and very hard to try to explain to her why it happened.

Todd's dad is headed to our house again to help finish up the garage. He will be here tomorrow thru Thursday. Todd hopes to get the garage done and he wants to replace our hot water heater too if they have time. We had the contractor come out to the house to look at the bathroom for our remodel of that. He is suppose to get back to us next week with a quote. Hopefully we can get it done, but we will see how much it ends up being.

I guess that is all for now. I hope everyone has a great week....as for me, I am going to find the BenGay to rub on my aching legs and back!
