I did it!

I got my ass out of bed at 5:30am (on a day off, no less!) and ran the full 13.8 kms! It took me 1 hour and 23 minutes. So now at least I know I can do it - I can just work on my time. I want to run the actual route a couple times at least, as well, so that I know where I should be timewise.

We visited with Kyle, Carla & kids yesterday. It was good to see them - haven't seen them since our wedding! So of course the kids are a lot bigger than when we last saw them. We hung out at our house for lunch and sat on the sundeck and chatted while the kids napped. Then we took them to the Exploration Place and went to the Sim-ex theater. Brandon (5) was a little freaked when we went into the room with the dinosaur bone statues, but relaxed once he realized none of them were real. Ashley didn't seem to care about them - she was more interested in the water table. It was fun. We had hotdogs from the concession for dinner (well - Kyle, Carla & Glenn had burgers which they assured me were quite disgusting - the kids and I had hotdogs). After they left we went back home and went in the hottub for a while. We watched Ocean's Eleven and then went to bed. All that fresh air sure tires you out!!
