Still smiling-at home after the race
The Music City 1/2 Marathon runs through the streets of beautiful Nashville. This is the 4th year for Erica to run...last year I braved the full =) Michael and I decided to give the 1/2 a shot and we made it! We surprised ourselves with how well we did. We had a really good time...it was almost like a date. Only we had 30,000 people along for the ride. Amaya stayed at home with Nana and Pancake...yes, Nana braved both grandbabies-possibly a more difficult task than running. She swears they both did great-they all seemed happy when we got home. Michael and I are discussing running the full next year-it will be in April if you'd like to join us =)
