Above is me after the race, still with my awesome "bib" on. If you reeeeally want to see a picture of me crossing the finishline, I will direct you to this page. But be warned that it is not exactly a flattering angle, and this on top of the inherent un-glamor of a very sweaty and tired me.
The race was the Raleigh Turkey Trot. Kevin and I went to Raleigh, NC to visit my little brother for Thanksgiving (and met my parents there too, who had also come for a visit.) He's been living there for 2 years, but we'd never been out to see him and his little house. I have a cousin living in Raleigh also, so we got to visit with her too.
We had a fantastic time. He gave us rides in his Porsche (yes, PORSCHE) and I helped him do some interior decorating (his house is OBVIOUSLY inhabited by a bachelor--virtually nothing on the walls, etc.). AND, we got my Dad to play Rock Band with us, which it turns out he really liked. (For anyone who knows my dad, this will be a humorous revelation.)
And of course, the feast itself was splendid--thanks to Mom! *Sigh* It is so good to have Moms around for holidays! But not just for the baking--it was good to visit with her and with everyone, especially because I won't get to see any of them at Christmastime this year.

That's amazing. I think that's the same time I got for my 5K on the 4th of July. Then again, my sister had a sprained ankle, and I had gotten back 3 days ago from a back to back Ecuador/CA trip. So not much time to exercise then.
But still! that's amazing.
And I'm laughing picturing your dad rock out on Rock Band. Did he pound a mean bass?
Wow, Mindy! I am SUPER impressed. I know for FACT I couldn't do that right now.
Must be fun to be related to someone filthy rich (or close enough...) Riding in a PORSCHE sounds like a blast!
BOY do I hear you on the Mom thing! The company and cooking skills are much appreciated!
You totally rock!!!!!!! Yes, seven-exclamation point rock (at least). I haven't ran since high school (when we had to ... or, had to for a grade) and I am impressed. Way to go!
Your brother's house looks NICE. Wow. And a Porsche! How great that he's done so well.
LOVE the picture of your dad playing Rock Band; that's totally awesome.
