Ben & Bode's First 5K

This day, had been planned for quite some time.  The whole family would come to B'Ville and run in the 5K which starts downtown, goes right by the house, and then ends downtown.  However, I had some issues (not excuses!) what with my stitches and all.  Oh, and the doctor telling me that I was just "getting worse with age."  You would think that this would have spurred me on to go ahead with the run, but Jonathan and I were just not feeling it, so we lazily backed out.  Bucky too.  Our family likes to plan things.   It's the follow-through that can get in the way, once in awhile.  

But not Ben and Bode.  They baby jogged the entire thing and had a great time: 25:25.  Also, he was the cutest big ol' barrel chested boy for miles. 

Bucky and I did get some tennis time in and it was glorious.  I love that sport.  So fun and just when you think your are getting pretty good at it, you will mishit a ball (or miss it altogether) bringing you right back to reality. 

Reality: We will not turn pro together, touring the tennis circuit to all sorts of glamorous destinations. 

Sisterly Pipe Dream:  Running a tennis-surf shop-yoga studio on the beach as classy senior ladies.  We tease B & J that (if they don't keep in good shape), we will outlive them and be forced into this cougar-like lifestyle. 

Reality:  If Ben keeps this running up (and we continue to flake), our Pipe Dream may die!
