Wow - what a great weekend!
Mya and I were suppose to do the Indianapolis Women's Half Marathon (and 5K) together but she was invited to go camping with a girlfriend for the weekend...you can guess where she ended up. She had a blast with Lauren in Kentucky celebrating Lauren's 16th birthday! So once again, John was support crew for another event...he's really getting good at it! We were up before the sun on Saturday to get to the start line in downtown Indy. It was a 'women only' event and was really geared to the celebration of our gender. I have to admit that being on the course with only women brought out a more competitive side in me -- kind of rocked me a bit especially because I didn't train for this event like I should have. But overall, I was happy with the outcome. I'd love to do the event again next year with some of the teachers in my building and maybe some other local gals -- hopefully John will be game to chauffeur and take pictures! :)
After the event, John and I spent the day hitting some of our favorite Indy spots...Circle City Mall, lunch at California Pizza Kitchen, Trader Joe's, and Meijer to pick up dinner for the evening. We made a fabulous dinner at home (with roasted Brussel sprouts - yum!) and had some great conversation with Jackson while we hung out in the kitchen together. The evening was topped off with a movie, Source Code.
We spent most of Sunday morning organizing kitchen cupboards and such...one of John's favorite things to do when he is avoiding the real work of school -- I brought a trunk load to Goodwill! We took Jackson out to dinner and watched a movie at home, Jane Eyre.
Finished off Monday by going in to school for almost 4 hours to get organized and ready for the week. And under the guides of living vicariously through his son...for dinner, John made beer battered Johnsonville brats and homemade fries (in oil!!) - yummy! We had turkey burgers and baked potatoes.
