Our Busy May Days

Last week we were in Nebraska for the Lincoln Marathon. The kids got some good Grandma and Grandpa time, and I ran the 1/2 marathon on Sunday - it was a great day for running, and Lincoln always puts on a great race. After the Trolley Run the previous week and the Corporate Challenge 5K this weekend that makes three races in three weeks for me. Now I'm ready to get out my bike and take a little break from running.

The finish line of this year's Lincoln Marathon was on the 50-yard line inside of Memorial Stadium and included a brief appearance on the HuskerVision jumbo screen (that's me on the right of the screen about to enter the stadium). The second picture is me and Kevin post race (this was Kevin's first 1/2 marathon).


This weekend was the annual Spirit of Mission Days festival, which includes a parade, a carnival, and local vendors. Everett and Madeline (and their parents) watched the parade with us, and while I think they liked the rescue/police vehicles, bands, and the other attractions, our boys mostly enjoyed the candy. Afterwards we had fun riding a couple of the carnival rides.
