2012 Heart of Savannah 5k

Kyle and I have run the Heart of Savannah 5k for the past two years and successfully continued the tradition this year. The course starts and ends at Forsyth Park and travels around several squares downtown, it's a pretty run. Cambria also ran the kiddie 1/4 mile run last year and ran it again this year along with Ezra. Except Ezra wasn't exactly in running condition due to his injured leg from a slide accident a few weeks prior. We made it to the race just in time for the start of the kiddie run, typical us. :) Cambria was nervous in the beginning and wanted my mom to hold her, but about halfway through she got into running mode and became serious about reaching the finish line. They both got medals at the end and were very excited about that.

I carried Ezra the whole way. Definitely got me warmed up for the race!

Post race, with their medals.

Kyle starting.

Mesmerized watching all the runners with Grandma. Thanks for coming with us Mom!

Heading in to the finish.

Chris ran it too! Yes, those are the shoes Kyle runs in.

Ezra loves his Uncle Chris :)

They both wanted to be held by Grandma and Cambria is picking her nose. haha

I've managed to place in my age group the last two years, but didn't manage it this year at almost 23 weeks pregnant. My times for the last three years: 25:18 in 2010 (I was pregnant for Ezra during this one), 24:54 in 2011, and 29:33 in 2012. Overall happy with myself! Kyle has improved his time by more than two minutes every year, I'm so proud of him! Hopefully we'll be able to keep up the tradition next year!

Ran the 2012 Peachtree Road Race, 2nd year in a row. I didn't train for the race at all, but managed a time of 01:00:14. I am a little annoyed that I missed being under an hour by 14 seconds. :)

So that's a little of what we've been doing.

Hopefully I can find the motivation (and time) to start updating the blog more often!

Running +2

This is what it looks like when I run with babies.

Excuse me, I mean one baby and one princess.

"No I princess!" is what Cambria says when she is referred to as a baby.

While I do prefer running alone, I also enjoy taking them out on the trail for some fresh air and nature watching.

Plus pushing 80+ pounds of baby and stroller makes my run more challenging, which I like.

Stopping at an obstacle.

Their reward.

On a random note, can you tell which of these two peppers are organic and bought at the farmers market compared to the one non-organic bought at Kroger? Yeah, kinda makes you think...
