The Day After the Fourth

John and Anna got up extremely early to run their Half Marathon. They did a fantastic job. They set new PR goals. They finished in 1:49:45 which is Awesome. WAY TO GO GUYS. The race started at 6:00a.m. so the girls and I decided it would be best if we slept in. After John came back home he rested a bit and then we headed over to a friend of Anna's to have a post Fourth of July party. Anna's friend lives on a lake and the lake had a great beach area where the kids could swim and dig in the sand. Lillian loved the water. I think everyone loved the water. After it go dark the people who lived on the lake put on an awesome fireworks display. Again it was just an awesome day.

Our Fourth of July went off without a hitch. We first started off the day with a four mile run for me. I did really good and I stayed consistent with my pace. Overall I was very happy about my run. Then we had to go and pick up numbers for John and Anna because they were running in a Half Marathon the next Day. They ran in the Joker's Wild. Then we had to come home and get ready for our firework fun. We BBQ and had alot of fireworks that Aunt Anna brought over. The highlight for Lillian was her popsicles. I think she had like 8 of them. Anyway it was a great evening and we were excited that it didn't rain.
