Stacey is brave

Eric here...for some odd reason, my wife decided that it would be a good idea that I updated the blog.

So here we go...

Today was an exciting and long day in the Brown family life. It started with me waking up at 0'dark 30 to go run for fun. I ran a 1/2 marathon at 7am in 34 degree weather with 20 mph winds. As always Stacey was there to cheer me on. And of course my other #1 fan, Lili. They woke up early too and braved the cold chilly 1st day of March.

I ran a personal best 1/2 Marathon time out of all previous 1/2 Marathons and 1/2 Marathon splits while running full marathons. I ran a 1:45 and some change. My pace was an 8:05 mile. I came in 80th place out of 604.

Afterwards, we hurried home, I showered and then off to church. Following church we went to Target to look for red clothing so that Stacey could dress up like Thing 1 and Thing 2 tomorrow at school in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday.

Then on to visit Great Aunt Carol and first cousin once removed Naomi who was home for the weekend from Belton.

Finally the end of our afternoon adventures entailed a short trip to the grocery store.

The reward of all this was Stacey made some very yummy chili. I have eaten half the pot already.(I tend to be a little hungry after these long running events...well I tend to be a little hungry all the time)

so long, farewell, auf wiedersehen good bye
