Saturday morning was one of my favorite races of all time. Run Like A Mother. I think this is the 4th time I have done this race, the second time I've been pregnant. I was happy that my hips gave me the day off from aching and allowed me to run the whole thing. I finished the 4 miles in 36:56, and completely enjoyed my post race bagel and coffee. Doing this race with friends makes it even better. We had way too much fun.
Saturday night we went out with friends. Dinner, a movie, and coffee. It was perfect. Who cries in a Star Trek movie? The pregnant lady, that's who. Ten minutes in and I was a mess.
Nate did good, he bought me a maxi dress for Mother's Day. Bring on the comfort. After church, we spent the afternoon at my parent's house. We feasted on grilled chicken with coconut cake for dessert. Some people took naps and some people went mushroom hunting. I'll let you figure out which option I chose. This is the bounty that was found.
The kids were great. I was lavished with home made cards and cheerful help all day long. One child even gave me the gift of actually wearing their glasses that they have worn a total of two times since getting them a year ago. Isn't that nice?
Happy Mother's Day
