5K Run Completed!

Yea!!!! Rodolfo and I woke up bright and early this morning (5:30 AM) and went downtown to join 16,000 other people running the OKC Memorial Marathon. We participated in the 5K run and completed it without having to stop to walk (my first time to run this far since before I was pregnant... I know it has been a while!)! I'm so glad that we did this event. Every year we see the runners pass by on Classen Blvd and wish that we were with them. And today we were! Man, it feels great to get up and workout. It was pretty cold and misty/rainy but it was invigorating all the same. Next year, if we are not pregnant again, we want to attempt the 10K!

Georgia has stayed with my parents this weekend so Rodolfo and I could run this morning and also attend a charity auction this past Friday. We bought the painting you see in the picture above. Since I'm a big fan of roses this seemed like the best item to bid on. There was also a helicopter ride above OKC to see the lights at Christmas being offered but it went way out of our budget.

Other news, I wanted to place links to some of the places and things that I really enjoyed on our trip to Carmel. They include: http://www.cottagerestaurant.com/ which is a delicoius place to eat breakfast, http://www.carmelsbest.com/ an italian restaurant that we enjoyed. Then, here is a link to a lady who makes bracelets that I just fell in love witH
