Holy Shit, We Ran A Marathon!!

Adam and I are official marathon finishers!  We ran the Walt Disney World Marathon (yep, all 26.2 miles of it!) on Sunday, and are super happy to say we survived!  It was really neat running through all 4 Disney Parks, as well as the Richard Petty track and all the fields at Wide World of Sports.  I finished with a time of 6:11:38, Adam finished with a time of 6:42:07.  There were over 26,000 runners that started the race, but only 19,970 finishers.  I finished 13,572 and Adam finished 16,445, so totally not even last!!  We are both pretty sore, but really surprised how good we feel, overall.

Here we go!

Smiling on the course is always good!

Am I almost done?

Hey!  This could possibly be the best day ever!

26.2 miles in those ears!

Crossing the Finish Line!

Look at those medals!

You sure did!

Me too!

Meet Brooks!

The new year has brought us a new addition!!  Meet Brooks:

Hi, nice to meet you!

He is a 1 year old long haired Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, and such a cutie!  He weighs in at a whopping 6.4 lbs., and is such a tiny little guy he can't even jump up onto the beds!  He loves following me around the house and going for walks, he is very happy to lounge about and eat treats, and has been giving the lizard hanging out in our house a workout!  He spends his time while we are away in his crate, and is so excited to play when we get home!  Come by and meet our new little guy!

The Big Designer!

Seth has been taking a Source Code writing class at the Orlando Science Center for the past few months, he loves it!  We just found out that the movie he made was voted into be shown at Otronicon next weekend, how cool!!  Otronicon is a celebration of interactive technology that takes place each January at Orlando Science Center. It offers a glimpse into the future and a demonstration of how interactive technology will impact how we work, learn and play. At Otronicon, guests walk on the cutting edge through state of the art video games, digital media, digital art, and workshops – not to mention military and medical simulators typically not available to the public.  So proud of our little computer nerd!

Happy 2015!

We started out the new year running!  Adam, Seth and I ran the Flamingo 5k in NSB again this year, what a fun way to kick off the new year!  I set a new PR with a time of 29:54, now THAT'S how you start the year!  There were 415 runners, I finished 155th, Adam finished 237th and Seth came in 385th. Sadly, we didn't win a bike this year, but we figure if we did it every year they'de kick us out!  We are ready to go for the WDW marathon next week!

Those Reindeers Sure Ran!

A great time was had by all at the Track Shack/Vanessa Welch Reindeer Run on Saturday.  Team WHMH was well represented, kudos to those who braved the cold, I do believe it was colder when we finished than when we started, and that start was pretty damn cold!  Here's a few pics!

Quick stop during the race to see the big guy!

A Major Award

We ran the Ed Root 10k again this year, and both improved our times, PR's for both of us!  Adam even came in third in his age group, whoo hooo!

The Big Winner, Third Place in his Age Group at the Ed Root 10k!

Gobble Gobble, Happy Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving, ran 2 races so we could eat extra turkey!  Adam, Seth, Pop Pop and I ran the NSB Turkey Beach Run on Thanksgiving morning, we had lots of fun and Adam and I both set PR's for a 5k, not bad!  Then Adam and I ran the Run to the Sun 4 miler on Saturday, over the south bridge into NSB and the drawbridge back. Note to us:  bridge running is HARD!  But we made it through. Just about 6 more weeks before we tackle the marathon, I totally think we'll be ready!

Pop Pop, Adam, Seth and Me, Gobble Gobble!

One More Medal for the Wall!

Mostly Moved In, Almost No Injuries

Well, we are moved into the new abode, though I think we will be unpacking boxes for a few weeks yet. The only casualty of the move was my head, had a slight tumble off a ladder which was broken by the edge of the kitchen counter!  Nothing like a trip to the ER to grind unpacking to a halt!  5 stitches and an hour and a half later and we were back to work.  Hope everyone will be able to stop by the new place and say hi!

Ouch!

Seth's Candytron costume was a big hit for Halloween, it was absolutely all a 10 year old Dell computer is good for!
