Families R.O.C.K. 5k

The girls spent the night at Gma & Gpa Great's last night. Zach and Lauren took advantage of the opportunity to go out for a leisurely and YUMMY dinner at the Melting Pot since they won't have the chance again for several months! At first they were seated in a booth they'd never sat in before but oddly enough, the burner wasn't working right so they had to be moved - to the exact booth they've sat in every single other time they've been there. Hilarious! This morning Z & L put on their running clothes and headed for Southeastway Park for the Indiana Creek Church Families R.O.C.K. 5k. It was a HOT and cloudless morning but 3.1 miles seemed so short after the race they'd run just 2 weeks ago :) Gma & Gpa brought the girls to the park to play, cheer, and get their faces painted while mom and dad were racing. Zach finished in 29:28 and Lauren, despite being 2 days pas her due date, finished in 47:25. That's still 19 minutes slower than the last 5k she ran (the MeltDown in July where she got 28 something) but she was just happy to be out there working up a sweat and getting a little endorphin rush! There aren't any nearby 5ks going on next weekend so Zach says if Lauren's still pregnant he'll organize a Wanamaker 5k for her to walk ;)
