Marathon and celebrations

Marc and I have spent the last 3 months training for a half marathon. Usually we enjoy it, but life has been rather full, so we were looking forward to being DONE with the training and the race. We finally got to put our hard work to the test, when we ran in the Wisconsin Marathon (also known as "cheesiest" marathon). The race was in Kenohsa along Lake Michigan. With 50 degree weather, the sunshine, and a view of the lake for the majority of the run, we couldn't have asked for better conditions. Marc ended up getting his best time (under 2:06, and I came close, a minute after him). Here we are with our medals. Look closely..... they are shaped like cheese. Hehehehe.... Only in Wisconsin. After the race, we drove up to Milwaukee, to help my sister move some stuff. Allyson, if you're reading this, congrats on the house! And then we ventured up to my parent's, where Lydia was, and chilled out and rested for a little. Then around dinnertime, we had a little celebration for Lydia's birthday. She didn't like the cake as much as we thought she would. She enjoyed mushing it around in her hands, until she discovered it tasted ever so yummy. It was a lot of fun! I still can't believe that next week we will officially have a 1 year old!!!


Here's a video of Lydia tasting her first piece of cake.
