Our Life with 3 Guys and A Doll

I ran this race last year and what a different experience it was this year!
Like last year, Hank ran the 4 mile option, though it was closer to 4.4 miles this year. He didn't want to do his own race report but just wanted to say he had a fun run, and he was glad it didn't rain too hard....

Note: I didn't take any photos of this event because it all happened before I had my coffee so you're stuck with what I could find online.
Slater is Shane's cat (so he thinks - she prefers to think of herself as a free agent). And she is mischief to infinity....

Even the casual observer will notice that my posting has been a bit lax lately. I can promise you that it's not because we're sitting around with nothing to do. Sometimes it's much easier to just load a picture onto Facebook with a caption and be done...

He's only 10 - though he'll quickly remind us that he's a young adult (!!) - so it's pretty low key training, but he has a couple of goals he's working towards. He wants to hike the 15K option at the Ironmasters Challenge in a month.
He is also working on the Boy Scout hiking merit badge. The requirements for this are pretty steep so it will require hard work on his part. And we're all too happy to help him reach those goals....
