Prep with a 5K

As Courtney continues to prepare for her half-marathon in a couple weeks, she had a good race-day prep with an easy 5K. Now she knows what it feels like to wake up at 5 a.m., drive to the event, and run! She ran with a friend at a leisurely pace and tried out a new pair of shoes (her feet fell asleep while running). Meanwhile, Mark and the girls enjoyed free bananas, free chocolate milk, and free jumping on the high jump mat. After Courtney was finished running, the kids had a race too. Olivia ran 400 yards, and Katelee was going to run 50 yards (but she bowed out).


Free Chocolate Milk -- just milk the cow!

After the race, we stopped by IHOP to get some breakfast. Unfortunately, the place was packed. Thus, we headed home, and Courtney whipped up some delicious pancakes with blueberry compote. We all loved them!

IHOP, eat your heart out
