Mission Accomplished

Well we are back home, we left the house early drove to Chicago found parking and registered and ran the 5K race. I must say it was difficult to push the girls in the stroller, harder than I expected BUT we finished. The girls are thrilled. They also got commerative race t-shirts so they are happy.

N. kept raising her arms up when I ran and later said she felt like she was flying in the air.

After the race we went out for breakfast back in Des Plaines and now the girls are having lollipops and watching a cartoon while I rehydrate and relax.

What a day, and luckily it got warmer. I took of my jacket and wrapped it around the girls so they would have more warmth, I had on a technical t-shirt and a fleece and that was ok, a hat would have been helpful though.

The twins are asking me all ready, "When is our next race Daddy'?

And J. drew me a picture of us running together and wrote "RUNNING WITH DADDY" at the top and at the bottom she drew the finish line. And she drew that she was wearing Nike running shoes, even with the swoosh logo which I found hysterical.

Oddly enough my legs are fine but my arms hurt a lot, as if I had been lifting weights.

Time for a shower and more ice water.
