Busy Saturday

Today was a very busy Saturday! I started off the day by running a 5K run at St. Xaivier's University. It is hard to believe that 7 years ago this exact weekend I ran the Chicago marathon! I went from 26.2 miles to 3.2 miles! And it is pathetic to admit that I was almost just as fatigued after my 5K this morning as I was after the marathon....jeez, a lot can change in a short amount of time...especially from being really IN shape to getting really OUT of shape. But, I have good excuses from falling off the "health" bandwagon, right!!?! Immediately after I completed the marathon 7 years ago, I started and completed my MBA, got married, and then had a baby. And all 3 of those things happened back to back. That is my excuse....and I think it is a good one....so, I am going with it! I was very happy to complete my 5K this morning....and I should also mention that I did beat my dad! We ran together the entire race, but I like to beat him during the last 200 yards just so I can say I did--HA! The best part about the entire race was that I had my husband and sweet baby boy there to cheer me on! Nothing in life is better than my 2 favorite boys!!!!!





After the race was completed, we went downtown to Anna Whelan's 1st birthday party. We had a nice time seeing some friends and Jack had fun playing with some of Anna's toys and hanging out with other little people. Here are some pictures from the party....
