Homework

Last week I spent a few hours at the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis doing some "homework" for a photography class I'm taking. Here are my best shots:

Busy, busy

... and trying to "leave the nest" already. This darling boy is growing up too fast!

33:58

Last weekend I ran my first 5K around Lake Harriet. I've never been a great runner, and actually hated it up until recently (which I'm blaming entirely on a South Davis Jr. High gym class, but that is another story).

But despite my junior high flashbacks,  I conquered my first race, finishing 6 minutes faster than my goal! My official time was 33:58. Don caught a video of me crossing the finish line.

Too bad that chick showed me up at the end...  she came out of no where! I was pretty excited about my finish time and definitely plan to run more races in the future.

A beautiful night for a walk

Tonight we took advantage of a beautiful, warm fall evening by walking around Lake Calhoun.
