Our big boy

It is really hard to believe another year of preschool is done. We recently had Charlie's end of year preschool program and I was foreseeing the tears at High School graduation in a mere 14 years?
It is really amazing how much our sweet Charlie has grown up. His teacher's comments for the year, were Charlie is such a sweet kid and could melt your heart with his eyes. So yes, he is already a ladies man.

This fall, Charlie will do another year at Christ Church Episcopal, showing his brothers the ropes and getting a good steady base for Kindegarten or the new 1st grade so I hear. We want him to really be ready for elementary school, as well as we do, and thought it wouldn't hurt to have another year.

Running Get Together

Had a great time Saturday, Will decided he is joining the group too.

Well, I signed up

Not sure what got into me. Maybe the 1st time peer pressure has really been a  positive for me. I guess that is a good thing when you are 35. After the 10K in April, Sportsbackers sent out their email for the next price increase for the Richmond Half Marathon. Wheels went in motion.... And the next thing I knew, my running gals and I decided to make the leap and sign up.

Since the 1st of the year, I've been running with 2 of my Body Back friends, Amy and Angel. With the 2nd session of Body Back, we added a few more to the group: Lisa, Kay, Kim and Angie for a total of 7 of us. Each week, we run Mon & Wed at 5:30 am together and have started having our big Sat. runs here in TH at 6:00 am instead of the group runs. We like to get up early and be done with our run before the larger group runs...

I feel so lucky to have this group. Have wanted this since I started running last August and glad that I kept with the running until I found the group. We see each other some weeks, 5 or 6 times a week between Body Back class, Running and Kickboxing and it makes a real difference.

Saturday we are gearing up for our 1st 7 mile run together. And then we are going to celebrate Sat. night with the husbands and kids.
So 155 days from now, we'll be running 13.1 miles. Watch out world!

Here's a couple from the 10K
