Running….

So the weekend’s over…and that makes me sad…because it really was a great weekend.  Friday night we spent time on campus with our fellow employees at Greenville College. We had a faculty/staff dinner and entertainment. It’s always a great event and a good time to remember all of the reasons that we love being here. Saturday morning we slept in a little and then packed our things to head up to Danvers for a weekend with Jared’s sister and our nieces. We stopped at a running shop along the way to pick up some running shorts. (Our reward for working so hard for this weekend’s 5k.) We made it to Danver’s just in time for the festivities (it was Danvers Days…a fun small town celebration). We ate yummy food and had fun catching up and relaxing with family. Sunday morning we were up at the crack of dawn to run the Danvers Days 5k. It was rainy and yucky….but it cleared up just as the race started. It was my 2nd 5k….and this time I ran on my own and let Jared run ahead of me. I super nervous…but it went really well! I shaved off nearly 5 minutes from my time last year! I didn’t have to stop…and my side didn’t cramp up either. I dare say that I’m starting to really enjoy this whole running thing. I feel good when I’m done…and it’s such a nice way to release stress at the end of the day. We also stopped through Bloomington to eat at Avanti’s on the way back…yummmmo! There are so many great restaurants in Bloomington/Normal that we miss…so we try to make it to one place each time we’re back to visit. So we’re home now…and work is happening. Students move in on Friday…this week is going to be crazy awesome!
