1. Justin and I participated in our first family 5K this past Saturday. I am not sure what motivated Justin (perhaps it was all my nagging) but he finally agreed to partake in a race with me...please take the word "race" very loosely. Since I haven't worked out in over 16 weeks, except for an occasion evening stroll, I didn't set my expectations too high. In fact I planned to walk the entire distant (this might have also influenced Justin's decision to join). The race was Saturday evening down in Missouri City. The race started at 6 and Justin, Haley, and I crossed the finish line at 6:46. I can't say that this is a time that I am proud of but it was probably one of the most fun to date because my family was with me. Haley fussed for a few minutes but for the most part dedicated her time to motivating us by yelling run! I guess it worked because we jogged all the down hill portions. Hopefully Buskirk Bean # 2 didn't get too shook up. Hehe. I think Justin may have actually enjoyed himself cause we are already talking about another one in October!
2. Sunday we went to Erin and Chris' for a Texas Showdown party. The party was alot of fun even though the Texans lost the game. I am not a big fan (in fact I just learned who our quarterback was yesterday) but I was sad that they lost. Hopefully this is a minor setback and they can pull out a decent season.
So, I have decided, after much consideration, to take a break from my weekly Random Roundups. It has gotten to the point where I am having to force myself to come up with things to write about and is losing some of the fun. Plus the weekly write up isn't really motivating me to use my camera which was the original plan for RR. I will still be posting regularly but it will be more event based, or photo op driven, rather than a weekly synopsis of our lives.
Thanks for reading!
