We had a nice relaxing weekend at home. We went to the Loleta Cheese Factory on Saturday and tried some great cheese. The girls loved it and I really liked the habernero cheese, it had a kick but it was good. Then we went into town and walked around and I noticed that a race was going on Sunday. Registration was at noon so I had time to think about it. We headed to the Humboldt Botanical Gardens, which was nice. Not everything is in bloom but it was still nice. So we headed back to Loleta and I got details about the race. 10k with a hill, it was cheap and Scott was encouraging me to do it so I signed up. Afterwards we headed to Ferndale, lunch at the park but then we saw Kristie at a burger place and stopped there instead. The burger was great and then we headed to the park. While we were eating lunch Krisite's mom invited us over because we were talking about horses and how much Michaela loves them. We headed over there and had a great time. The girls loved it and had fun with Kannon. Here are some pictures from the weekend.
The race was hard. I was told about the hill but thought it was another hill. I hit mile 1 at a good time but then the hill came and it was about 1.25 miles. I had to stop several times but once I hit mile 2 I ran the rest of the way. There were smaller hills but it was mostly down hill. I was the last real runner to finish and my time was 1:09:49 which was almost a record for me. As I made my final turn I saw Scott and the girls and Michaela ran to the finish line with me. It was quite a moment for me. I am glad I ran it and might be doing another one in two weeks.
Us by the fire truck. Im really sweaty! I also won some new oil, its called green tea oil and it way healthier than olive oil. We have been using it like crazy.
