Dylan woke up at 4AM(!!!!! egads egads) on race-day, gipping me and Tom of a couple of hours of sleep! Then, we thought he might sleep past the new babysitter's shift and only awake after Heather arrived at 8:30am. No such luck!

He awoke at 6:45am...to a face he'd only seen once (the previous day)! His way of dealing? He made small talk. "Moon gone", he said, and then they read Goodnight Moon together!

After Heather and Taliana arrived, they apparently did a lot of outdoor play and went for a walk on the path behind the house.

As for Tom and me. We finished the race in a little over 2 hours. We missed our target times (I was 7 minutes slower than last year and Tom was 5 minutes slower) so we were both a little disappointed! Tom is planning vengeance in the Jungle Run in mid-July and we're planning to do 10-12 mile runs on the weekends to get used to the longer distances...!
