All In The Family

Another half-marathoner joins the family this weekend.


Meghan flew to Minneapolis to drop 13.1 with style. With the humidity slated to be 87% when we left the house, Meghan and I thanked Grandma and Grandpa Ekern at mile 4, whom we were absolutely certain put in a word with the big guy to keep the heat away until we finished. The weather complied with very overcast skies, low temps, and a nice rain shower half-way through. But no lie, 1 hour after the race it was HOT, HUMID and 95 degrees. Thanks G&G!!


I was so proud of her as she crossed the finish line and honored that I could be her running buddy to cross that line with her.

In other news, we attended a drunken spelling bee on Saturday night where upon entry you get 2 drinks, and for each round you spell correctly, you get another drink. We sang karaoke. We went to the Uptown Art Fair. We ate brunch. We at burgers. We played Killer Bunnies and watched a movie. We took a nap and got a pedicure.

It was a full, and fun weekend. When are you moving to MSP Meghan?!?!
