4th of July

The 4th of July turned out to be a pretty damn good day spent with damn good friends! The day started off early for me, around 4:00 am. The life of a 3rd shifter! Chris had found a 5k that was being run in the Crescent Hills neighborhood, so we decided to give it a shot. This would be his first official 5k since getting back from his injury. I think that the run went well. We ended up finishing in 26:40. The goal on this run was to maintain a nice steady pace and just enjoy the run. As long as we finished under 30 I was happy. To my surprise Chris held himself back and didn't let the race get the better of him. I am sure that he wanted to break out at different times, but didn't. Made for a nice run. I did not carry a camera, but Chris did. So check out his blog for pics and a great recap of the day as well.

After the run I headed home to get things ready for what Chris has dubbed the First Annual Yeti Independence Day Festival. I do like the sound of that, and think it is a great idea. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate the way I would have liked. For whatever reason it decided to be around 70 degrees and rainy. Not that big of a deal, it just meant that the kids were not able to take advantage of the pool or the yard. I think that everyone had a good time.

Things wrapped up a little before 9 pm. Just in time for Harper's Island, which if you haven't been watching, you are just missing out on one of the summers guilty pleasures. I would recommend finding the first 11 episodes and watching them before this coming Saturday's 2 hour finale.

With all that being said, it was a great day and will definitely have to be repeated some more throughout the summer!
