Today marked two important milestones. First, Emilee ran her
first race since the girls were born! Second – as a result of the early start
time for the race – we turned the tables on Eva and Carolyn and woke THEM up to
start their day, rather than the other way around. Take that, babies.
The race was the first annual “Intown 10K,” which took place
near our neighborhood. Emilee has been informally training for this race for
several weeks, by taking Eva and Carolyn on long daily strolls. Today, Eva and
Carolyn were not part of the race, but they enjoyed venturing out early to
watch their Mom run with a few hundred other people:

Emilee was very excited to see her babies during the first mile:
...and she was still excited to see them during the last mile!
It was a little too cold for the babies (and me) to stay outside for too long, so
we hung out in the warm car while Mom ran:

We were all very impressed with Mom's finish time:
Emilee shattered her previous10K time by more than 2
minutes and finished in about an hour (official results pending). She finished
first in the “Mommy to the cutest babies” division.

*Please note the awesome Cardinals hoodie. One guy in the race yelled, "Go Cards!" at me. Go Cards, indeed.
It just occurred to me that I'm wearing the same Cardinals hoodie in a LOT of photos. Don't worry, I still haven't washed it.
ReplyDeleteOK, this solidifies the well-known fact that Emilee is Super-Mom.
ReplyDeleteEmilee, are you running for office. You have the waive down. I am thrilled that both of you were representing St Louis. Did anybody yell "go Centrue"?
ReplyDeleteLove you all, and Emilee has told be Dave that you do laundry all the time. I can't believe you have washed your hoodie.
Unbelievable. Emilee you rule.
