October 3rd

I'm sorry to say we're pretty behind on ye old blog these days, but I'm going to do my best to catch up a bit. Here we go...

A couple of weeks ago (10/3) the girls again participated in the family running events that are part of the Twin Cities Marathon. Cecilia ran in the 1-mile event with Momlissa, and Ruby ran the 1/2-mile race with Dadam. It was a C.O.L.D. morning, so we were all bundled up like arctic explorers and then set off for the State Capitol grounds. First we cheered for Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Dolores, Uncle Ramon, and Grandma Two as they walked in the 5K race -- so fun to watch! We were very proud of Grandma Two for participating; who says you're too old to do these things? Here they are about to take off:
We don't have great pictures of Cici's race, but here is a good shot of Ruby at the finish of the 1/2-mile.
When she got done she immediately said, "Next time I want to do the longer one." Tough kid.

And here are my two runner girls when all was said and done.
