This weekend was a little "faster" paced than usual.
On Saturday morning, I ran in the Krispy Kreme Challenge! The idea is to run 2.5 (or so) miles to the Krispy Kreme, eat a dozen donuts, and then make the 2.5 mile return trip. Of course - you only are "required" to eat the dozen donuts if you are a "challenger". I ran this race as a "casual" runner - ate one of my twelve donuts, and brought the rest home for the family to share!
It was a fun race, overall. I haven't been training nearly as much as I should... but in the grand scheme of things, I actually finished almost in the top half... Woah! That's a first/best place finish for me.
Now... truth be told... I did cut the course short a bit (since it wasn't well marked). And as a "runner", I wouldn't say this was the best race. However, it was fun to see the costumes (Pac Man and a Ghost, a "stroller" made into a Krispy Kreme Delivery Truck, etc). I also (thankfully) didn't see as much puking as I expected! And... I do believe that I finished ahead of at least of a few of Raleigh's finest po-po!
In other news, we went to the Titanic Exhibit today at the museum.
I enjoy going to museums, and I've been wanting to see this particular exhibit for a while. It was laid out really well, and had some items that Kiddo was interested in (such as luggage), and some items that Baby G could actually explore (such as a large frozen iceberg). All in all, I enjoyed it. You also get a "name" when you enter the exhibit, so you can check in the end to see if you "survive". Baby G and DH didn't make the survivors list. DH was in first class, and Baby G in 2nd class. I was in 2nd class and did survive, along with my son who was travelling in first class. I've been wanting to go to this for a while, so I'm glad we made it today!
Hope you had a great weekend- and now it's back to work!
