Girls on the Run

Sebastian and I did our big 5K race today. It was freezing cold, but after a few minutes of running, we warmed right up. Sebastian did so well and finished in 42 minutes, and for a 9 year old, that is pretty great! We had a nice run with the snow on the ground through some neighborhoods and around a lake up a few hills and off to the finishline. Sahar even came out to join the audience, after a 12 hour night shift, which was so nice to see her too! With 1400 young girls (and a couple boys!) it was an encouraging run and exciting to see that many girls involved. We rounded the day off with a warm lunch at Cosi complete with S'mores (it even has a real fire to warm them on). Now we've finished our nap (6 am get-up for the race), and are watching Dances With Wolves for the 100th time. Actually, the show has been on each weekend and we have watched it in 3 minute segments over the last 2 months. Tom is finished with his classes now and just has some big papers to finish up before heading to Oregon and then off to England for well-earned break!
