Elliot's First Race!

Elliot and I ran a 4 mile turkey trot in Murfreesboro on Thanksgiving with Andrew and Matt that actually was raising money for orphans in Africa.

We had PERFECT weather and I didn't have to stop and pee once! It was a success!

My hat blew off in the home stretch but I get a high off of passing people so I didn't stop to get it. We had to hunt it down but luckily found it eventually.

They didn't start the timing chip when you cross the start line so it didn't count for the time that it took to get through the crowd and across the start but my time was 36 minutes so it was probably closer to 34 and some change. That's what I'm telling myself. I got 7th in my age group of 41 women so that tells me that these unpregnant women need to hit the track more...

I actually got some slack from Matt about my slow times lately (uh...hello..I have over a pound of baby and baby making things bouncing on my bladder, buddy!) hehe...kidding. So, in an act of sleepy slap happiness I had Katie go into their room and switch his timing chip for mine. He heard us laughing and she ended up telling him but we kept it that way for fun. So technically Kat Spottswood won 3rd in her age group...I didn't stay for the trophies...oops. Oh well!

So, Elliot had fun during the race then enjoyed some yummy Thanksgiving food later on. Here is an unflattering picture to document the moment:
