Sweet time on the road with my good friend. She is getting back into running after having her fifth baby. We did nine miles along the Miner’s Ravine Trail…

Super Sunday 5K
Feb 9th, 2016 by leigharev2
Superbowl Sunday began with a 5K with my boys! It was a great day for a run! The Super Sunday Run had an incentive where if you signed up before a certain deadline, you were able to pick the color shirt you wanted based on your favorite NFL team. Of course, we picked the Seahawks!
The boys and I showed up early and headed back to the car to wait a bit, since it was still chilly. This guy saw my car magnet for the online running club I belong to, Hogwarts Running Club (HRC), and introduced himself. He is in the same club as well. This is an international club, with members all over the world, so it is always a treat when we find each other in real life. Later, we learned that there were others at the same run. We plan to be more proactive in getting together for next year’s run. His friend with him said that they were smack talking our t-shirt choice until he saw my magnet and said, “hey, these are my people!”
Some of the ladies from RRMRTT!
Waiting for the run to begin!
Mile one. Looking good!
My friend, Amy, caught up with me and we ran together for a while. I am slightly gleeful that I am running stronger than the boys (finally!). Usually, they go ahead of me, and meet me at the finish. They beat me by 2-3 minutes. This time, they were chasing me! ‘A’ kept saying, “mom, I can’t believe you can do this everyday! My response was, “I can do this BECAUSE I am running everyday!”
Mile 2. Feeling it, but still having fun!
YAY! 5K complete. Time for the tailgate party!
My friend and fellow running club sole sister, Cassie, was there as well, running the 10K.
So grateful to Amy for catching the boys and I crossing the finish line together at a college football stadium! Oddly enough, there was no photographer at the finish line. There typically is at most runs.
RRMRTT Winter Virtual Run 10K
Feb 9th, 2016 by leigharev2
A fun 10K with my running club. You chose one of four locations through the town, and chose distance: 5K, 10K, or half marathon. I ran the Veteran’s Park 10K.
Pre-run.
Run buddy, Melissa, and I, picked up some new shoes the day before. Broke them in on the run. Mine are the ones on the left…
My partners for this 10K. I love running, and spending time with these ladies. Melissa is center and Lindsay, right.
Hey girl. A little eye candy half way on the run…
A little dance break…
At the finish line, showing off our medals.

We have two puppies, a boy and a girl. The boy adores David. He looks lovingly at him often, and follows him. It is the sweetest thing.
BlueLine Art Gallery Field Trip
Feb 9th, 2016 by leigharev2
Our homeschool group went on a field trip to a local art gallery. The docent did a great job of teaching the kids how to look at art with a critical eye, instead of just the casual glance. She also taught them the difference between “arts and crafts”. There was a terrific variety art pieces.
This is a Girl Scouts Brownie uniform with an elongated tie. Embroidered on the tie were girls performing the tasks that are required to earn their badges.
The kids made a woven paper mat…
I aske the boys to show me their favorite art piece. ‘A’ chose this table…
‘R’ picked this quilt that is a collage of words that make a statement about fast food.
A Beautiful Bridal Shower
Feb 9th, 2016 by leigharev2
The daughter of my friend, Bev, is getting married and I attended Emily’s shower. It was probably one of the most beautiful showers I have ever attended!
A special beverage named the “Emily Claire”…ice, seltzer water, ginger, mint, and agave nectar!
Table decor. burlap, flowers, eucalyptus, brass candlesticks…
Lunch consisted of a variety of soups, fruit kebabs, potstickers, panini sandwiches, cake.
The mantel had pictures of the lovely couple…
We wrote our name one a Jenga piece, then a piece of advice on the other side. We all took turns sharing our pieces out loud….
Pictures of Emily as a child…
This was a party favor. So sweet. We all picked a key and wore as a necklace to affirm that Jesus is the key to a happy marriage.
Precious mom Bev, and daughter/bride, Emily…
Sharing wisdom…
The groom, Gunnar, surprised Emily with a documentary video he created talking about how much he loved Emily. It was so sweet and a great way to end the shower.
Brothers United/ Rooms Divided

The time has come for the boys to move into their own rooms. Until now, they have always shared a room. Here they are enjoying their own personal space!
Newbie Trail Run in Auburn
Feb 9th, 2016 by leigharev2
Our running club (Moms Run This Town), had an amazing trail run. We started when it was still dark, but within a mile, the sun came up. This was a four mile run. At 2.5 miles, I lost my footing on the muddy trail, and twisted my ankle. I was able to “shake it off” and keep running. It was sore, but no limping.
After the main group run, many splintered off to run additional miles. The four of us tacked on an additional 4.5 miles for a total of 8.5 miles. My ankle was still sore, but the run felt great!
I was stunned when I got home and after removing my socks, discovered this…
Ooops. Apparently I sprained it. RICE’d it for the rest of the week.

Way to welcome in the New Year! Woo hoo! A hard run, but so fun! This run also completed the Thanksgiving to New Year run streak! My run buddy was Lindsay, the other one with the headband.
