Proud of you, Ashton!

Our former babysitter, and 'big sister,' got to spend the night with us last night! And why? Because she got up early this morning and ran the Conway 1/2 marathon through town to benefit the Soaring Wings Ranch. Gracie and I shot some footage of her coming into the AquaKids-sponsored water station at mile 6, right in front of Gray's school. Gray and many of her teammates volunteered to hand out Gatorade, water, and GU (some kind of high-caffeine concentrated gel that runners squeeze into their mouths while they run). It was a beautiful morning and we were so proud of Ashton's accomplishment, and proud to be cheering her on! When you watch the video, you will hear my not-so-words-of-widsom advice on dealing with her blisters. And you will have to endure my yelling. I got a little excited. :)

Love you, Ashtie! You rock!...D

Thank you for all of your support today. You all kept me going. I wish you had been the last water station because I would have ran the whole time. Lol. Miss you guys! Thanks again for coming out and supporting me today. How did Gray Gray do today?

Gray Gray did awesome...she did exactly what she wanted to do...dropped time in all of her events, and swam the IM for the first time - HUGE! this is her debut of her butterfly in competition and she looked like a pro! I will post that vid tomorrow.
