Mike and I ran the half marathon this morning on our gorgeous trail from Buckley , through South Prairie, and finishing in Orting. It was a gorgeous run. This bridge was so fun to run across. You won't find better scenery than this for a run! I hit the wall at about 10 miles. I looked at my mile splits on my watch, and I was booking it for the first 9 miles and then died. I was around 7:18-7:30 per mile, then died! Well, my overall time was not bad. 1 hour 47 min. Mike won the whole race in 1 hour 19 min. He won a gold railroad tie. What a prize! He won two of them, one for overall and one for his age group. I got 3rd in my age and 16th overall. Not bad for an old 39 yr old lady. Ha ha. I am still waiting on more pictures from people. Mike had a few pics that I am borrowing. Great race Mike! Can't wait to do it again next year!!
Awesome Bridge!

Orting Track Meet
We all had a fun time running the 1600m last night. It was fun! I ran a 6:46 mile. I was happy with my time. I started out a little slower than last time when I ran 6:27. Anyway, Mike did a great job pacing Richie. Richie ran a 5:48. Impressive! Dallas and Parker also ran. All under 8:00! Kingston did really good too. He ran the 50 M hurdles and the 400. He also did the long jump. Proud of my boy!

Bye Bye Edwards
Our friends left early this morning to head back to Long Beach,CA. We had a nice visit, but are glad to get back to our routine of normal life. We had a lot of fun! We hit the Orting trail and river yesterday. The kids rode their bikes. Kingston learned how to ride a 2 wheeler only 2 days ago! No training wheels needed for him! We are so proud of him.
