Kia and I ran in the Susan G Komen 5k on Saturday morning. I ran in it just over half an hour, which I’m really proud of. Yeah, it works out to over 10 minutes a mile, but that includes the amount of time it took standing around waiting for everyone ahead of us to get started, etc. I ran most of the distance, but since it started at 8:30, it was fairly hot as hell once we got out from the shade of the buildings. We were both really drained by the time it was over.
Also, when it comes to handing out free crap, Miami residents are the most trifling, pushy SoBs I’ve ever had the pleasure of putting up with. Wow.
The rest of the day was a nice, relaxed attempt to get our wits and our strength back. :)
Sunday, after lunch and a small bit of running around, we picked up the mail and stopped for some coffee and tea. In the mail, Kia got a package she didn’t think would arrive this soon, and couldn’t contain her excitement. She was saving it for around Christmas, but gave it to me at the coffee shop.
It’s one of the sweetest, most thoughtful gifts I have ever received. Perhaps THE most sweetest, thoughtful gift I’ve ever received.

I think that’s the best thing I’ve ever seen. I hope to God you are planning on using that as a cake topper–AWESOME!!!
