Grand Rapids Marathon Weekend

Kaitlin getting ready to finish the Grand Rapids Kid Marathon.

For as little as Mal is he did an awesome job! When we first started off he was zipping in and out of all the other kids running and it was hard to keep up with him, but eventually he slowed down a bit and ran with Daddy.

This is what it looks like to be passed by the Haight family. :)

After the kids marathon we went to the Y to pick up Levi's race packet. On Sunday the kids got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson while Levi ran the marathon and I joined the rest of the GR Marathon staff in running the behind the scenes of the marathon.

Levi did an awesome job and set a new PR of 3:14.

Indian Summer

Honestly where has the last couple months gone? August, September where did you go? October thank you for this warm weather, but you're already half way gone. I mean really summer went by so fast and so is the fall. Kaitlin's had her 6th birthday, we started homeschooling, Malachi started preschool, and Zeke is trying so hard to catch up to Kate and Mal I think he'll be walking by Thanks Giving. Plus Levi and I have entered marathon season, which has come to an end for me and will for Levi after Grand Rapids this weekend. Seriously I think having kids makes time go by so quickly. And as much as I am not ready for winter, maybe a good couple snow days will help slow things down a bit. Or not. Either way I'm just trying to enjoy the time with my family that God has blessed me with.

PR's In Akron

Levi and I got to do our first away trip since Ezekiel was born and the first road trip to run the same marathon. We had an awesome weekend and both set a new PR. Levi finished in a 3:23:05 and I finished in 3:49:34.
