pasadena rock and roll half marathon with pascale~

 brrrr
it was cold this morning!

 but it sure wasn't cold at the end of the race!

 OMG!!!
i PR'd again!
i didn't intend to PR today...not even close.  i figured 2:20 most likely because i'd be tired from the flight yesterday.
but about 1/2 way through the race, i realized that if i kept up the pace, i'd be close to 2:10.  i pushed really hard to keep right around a 10:00mi/mi pace (which i knew would get me 2:10). i had to run mile 13 in 8:55 and the last .18 at a 7:33 pace to make it~
WHEW!

gramma and grandpa left to go home today...
brenny was really sad when we pulled away from the curb.  he wanted to know why he couldn't just go with them to montana.
we had to try to explain that we'd be back there soon...

derek had to pick up some tests from school, so we made a stop there after the airport.
the kids had fun playing around.

 headed out to daddy's office...

 headed over to daddy's classroom now!

 awww!

 brennan drew dashiell with an owwie on his knee (see the sad face?) and brenny telling him that it's ok

me and the little ones...
