Racing Day!
Last Sunday was a race day for me. I am gearing up for the Columbus Half Marathon in October, which is a huge fundraiser for Kaitrin's Klub. My goal is to finally break 2 hours and Sunday's race put me 4 minutes closer to that goal! And as the big fundraiser approaches, I have been contemplating the full marathon in Columbus..."have been", well let's just say that around mile 11 of this past race, I decided with the utmost certainty that I in fact will NOT be running the full. I think that 'halfs' are my thing. I'll stick with what I can seem to handle.
I want to thank Denise, whom I met warming up in the parking lot, for keeping me company before the race. It was a great day to race and the course was very nice (not many hills and along the river). I'll learn not to bank on power gel being at mile 5 and 9...bring your own no matter what. Who runs a race on just a banana? Yep...that'd be me.
And as always...if you are running a race and want to run for a charity, Kaitrin's Klub will be more than happy to send a race packet out to you.

Roo's Poo
I am not sure where this comment/quote came from, but every time Kaitrin poops she proudly announces that her "poop is as big as Grandpa's head". Sorry Dad....

um...whatcha doing to my brother?
So, on this fine Sunday evening our family was sitting at the table eating grilled burgers. Jacob brought to our attention that his tooth was loose. After eating for a moment, Jacob's screech was heard. Now, if you know Jacob, this particular screech will more than likely have some sort of over-dramatic response following it."There's BLOOD, Mom!"
I look over to see his itsy bitsy little tooth hanging from a thread and bleeding.
"Get it out!"
So, I get a paper towel and try to grab the slippery little tooth. The above picture? Jacob's little sister looking in horror at me trying to get the tooth out of his mouth. Terrified, just terrified! Is it bad that I couldn't stop laughing?
The Ohio State Fair
This was one of Jacob's favorite rides last year. The second time he went down, he went all by himself!
