To Have and To Hold, To Keep Your Drink Cold

That is the saying that was on the black and pink can coozy from my cousin Jenna and Michael's wedding reception.  Yesterday the day was beautiful and couldn't have been more perfect for them.

 

My day started out with, what else, a race!  I ran in the inaugural Donut Run in West Fargo. 

 

They offered up a 10K and  Half Marathon as you can see.  After this open course race that was scenic through the parks of West Fargo and a loop through Charleswood around the water was what else?  A free Sandy's Donut and coffee.  If you know me well, you know I don't drink coffee but the chocolate frosted donut was delicious!

 

 I ran a good race I thought finishing in 51:28.  Jason ran the Half marathon and finished under 2 hours but I'm not sure of his exact time.

When I got home the next race was on to shower and get Madelynn up to see Kay to get her hair done.  She was one of the flower girls in Jenna and Michael's wedding.  Kay did a great job as always!!  Thank you Kay!!

Then after the hair appointment we had to hurry up to find a different pair of shoes because the sandals we had bought Madelynn were bugging her feet and we couldn't have that!  So we ended up with ones that weren't sandals but she got two pair of shoes instead of one and was happy with both of them.  Then we went to return the sandals at Shoe Carnival and stopped by TJ Max real quick.  I found a dress but when I got it home it seems a little too short and so decided not to wear it and will be returning it.  Maybe if I was 25!  I got Madelynn up to the church and went back home to get myself ready and pick up the boys.

And waiting for the wedding to begin.

Jenna & Madelynn

Jenna & Michael 

We all had a great time at the wedding, reception, and dance.  After being together for 10 years they FINALLY got married...love you guys!

I got a triple bonus this weekend!  Jenna got married, my sister was home from Milwaukee and I got to run!  Who could ask for anything more.  Well, someone must have because we are now getting the rain we needed so badly.  It was a nice lazy day today.  My mom, dad, and sister stopped by on their way back home, I got a nap, ran on the treadmill and hanging out with kids.  Not much of a productive day but sometimes we all need a down day...I guess today was mine.

And...as promised....another shoe...

The Reebok Realflex.  I have been using these for more of an every day shoe and not for running.  I have enjoyed them so much I might do a custom color one for running in.  I was looking for orange and cannot find them around here so that might be a possibility...we'll see!

Until next time...
