(sorry for the blurry video. I have no idea why it loaded this way, but it took so long that I couldn't bear the thought of trying it again)
In other news, last weekend was the Leaf Peeper's race in Waterbury. Saturday night we hosted the pre-race spaghetti dinner. Sunday was a spectacular day. Sunny and cool- perfect for running!
Ed ran the 5K and I ran the Half Marathon with my two running buddies Mary (left) and Liz (center).
A couple of our friends' husbands were running their very first half marathon. Jim (white) is was running under the alias of Aimee Alexander (she sold her bib to him; this race doesn't have any type of formal bib transfer process) and the other guy is Matt, running as himself. To the far left is Meghan, a woman we know from the gym who has lost over 100 pounds!
The weather was perfect! We didn't break any records, and I certainly won't go as far as saying it was "fun," but you bet I'll be right back at it next October :-)
School has been NUTS this year. I have been so busy that finding time to update this blog has been challenging. It's been a great school year so far, but with a new course (Honors Biology) and very large regular Biology classes, I've been barely able to keep ahead of the planning and grading. Luckily, my student teacher Gabe is working out extremely well. I'm really, REALLY looking forward to getting a little break once he starts his soloing next month. Not sure what I'll do with myself!

Love the Diego video, we're fans too, although not quite as enthusiastic about it. Great job on your race Sandy.
Is Diego a blue dog? Chris thinks he is a friend of Dora? He is more on top of cartoons, as well as Mr. Ed (he watches it each morning!) Love the workout Edwin is getting riding on a horse? with Elijah. How cute to see the fun they are having! Congrats on your 1/2 marathon,Sandy, and for Edwin's 5K!I am proud of you, as have never run that far! Loved your pink shirts! Tilton is not far away, and will help get you through school!!
Laughed right out loud at that video of Ed and Elijah! I am impressed with Ed's energy!
Good for you for running the half marathon!
School was always NUTS for me. I was always behind in my correcting. I got used to it after a while and would try to catch up on weekends.
That was quite possibly the cutest video I've ever seen! hahaha! I'm not sure who was more enthusiastic...Ed or Eli?! Very cute!
Congrats on your race - sounds like you did an amazing job, as usual!
Can't wait to see you guys soon..hopefully before the first snow flake falls!
Great video, I have no idea who Diego is but Edwin and Elijah look like they are having a blast! Go Diego! xo Laura
