Marathon Madness

Ms. Cara and Ms. Brooke ran the New York City Marathon yesterday. Woo hoo! Mom and Glenn went up to the Bronx to give them support up there (miles 20 and 21 are really hard!) and they got to see a LOT of other people too...

On Saturday there was the Olympic qualifier marathon that we all watched while we did our morning romp in the park. Boy do those guys run fast! In the amount of time it took us to cross from 86th on the west side to the east side of the oval at about 77th -- about 15 minutes -- they had run all the way around the northern portion of the loop - including the big "Great Hill." Woah. That is fast. About "5 minute miles" fast.

All of this running has inspired mom to get back on the horse, so this morning at 5:45 am she and I were out there huffing and puffing around the Northern Fields and the Pool. I enjoyed it immensely!

Glenn got out of it because he was traveling for work. He has it soooo-o easy!
