Our first 5K!

We packed up and headed to Greenville for part of the weekend. We were going Thursday night but since we put an offer on the house we had to sign everything before we left for Greenville. Josh had two vacation days left so he used one of them on Friday. We headed down on Friday morning and had the best day. We stopped by the hospital to see all of my old work friends, ate a great lunch with the Nicholson's, and then went by to see our great friends and old neighbor's. Stephen wasn't home but we got to see Erin and the boys and Wade had so much fun playing with Drew. We miss living two doors down from them so much. We are hoping we have great neighbors when we move because we had the best neighbors in Greenville!

We stayed with Carrie and Brandon and had a blast as always. The boys had so much fun playing together. Thanks to our husbands who kept the boys so Carrie and I could do a little shopping and meet Jen and Stephanie for dinner. I miss these girls so much and we had a great dinner/girl time at Winslow's!!

We got up early Saturday and got ready for our first 5K. Now I had felt that I prepared well for this but of course something happened last week to my ankle. I can't remember the last time I had an injury until now. I don't know if it was from body attack or zumba but somehow I injured it? On Friday this lovely bruise showed up with a little swelling and it started hurting when I walked. Somehow I was able to run the entire race and Carrie and I even finished in 32 minutes!! We were pretty happy about that. Today my ankle is black and blue but hopefully it will start getting better soon. Running probably wasn't the best thing for it!!

Josh and Brandon did great too. Josh pushed wade in the stroller (which is a lot harder than you would think) and finished in the top 100. He finished in 28 minutes. Here is a funny story. When Carrie and I were finishing we were thinking the boys would be there to cheer us on. Well we were wrong; we didn't see them anywhere. Then we saw them coming out of the gym with food. We were a little irritated that they didn't wait for us. Then they told us the truth and we laughed. They said "we thought we had plenty of time to grab a water and food and get back to see you guys finish!" Oh ye of little faith, so what that translated to was  "I can't believe you guys were able to run that fast and finish only a few minutes behind your handsome and athletic husbands!!" Oh those boys.

Wade was so good and so excited about the race. It was really cold but he was bundled up and didn't seem to mind. If you ask him what he did he will say "run a race" he was so sweet and thought that he ran too!
