Lucky Me

This weekend we were predicted to get another 6 inches of snow.

Happily, we didn't.

My dad and sister Sarah arrived into Denver safely and without delay on Friday.

Dad, Sarah, and hubby

You can see where I get my good looks from.

We did a quick tour of the must-sees/must-eats of Denver and the mountains. And this morning they were here to wish me good luck on my 2nd half marathon before they flew back home.

Danielle and I were able to run The Platte River Half in very decent conditions.

Finally, a picture of me running where I don't look like I'm about to collapse.

Even though I might have felt like I was. Danielle and me post-race.

I didn't improve upon my last race time. But let's face it, that's not really why I train for half marathons.

Ho-ho cupcakes are though!

I topped off a day that started with hugs and well-wishes of encouragement from my family, with mimosas and toastes of congrats from my friends. Not too shabby.


It may be snowing right now, but I can't help but thank Mother Nature for her great timing. And I still have 4 cupcakes left. Lucky me.
