I need to get last weekend’s CHaD post done before this weekends Halloween fun begins! <\/p>\n

Last weekend Rosy came up and joined us for another CHaD Hero run\/walk. They used to just call it the “CHaD Half” and it was easy to say, now they’ve added a 5K run or walk, a 1 mile fun run, and a 10K hike, so the whole title is just unclear to me. I think they call it the “CHaD Hero” now, but I feel like it needs the word “race” or “event” or something after it. Anyway… we did it! <\/p>\n

The weather was drizzly that morning and the forecast was iffy (and variable depending on who’s phone you looked at), but we bundled up and headed out anyway. By the time we got there the rain had stopped and things were looking a bit better. We hung out a bit, joined our team for a photo<\/a>, then headed off on our hike! <\/p>\n

We munched on sandwiches, chatted, and generally enjoyed the day. The kids were awesome and didn’t complain even once! Lex kept saying how nice the day was and how happy he was to be there. I was so happy to be there with them as well. Eve and Rosy did half the hike well ahead of me and Lex. Occasionally they would stop and wait for us, but as soon as we caught up Eve would take off running again. Next year that girl will be doing one of the running events! <\/p>\n

\"bridge\"<\/a>

Over the river…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"woods\"<\/a>

… and though the woods…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"field\"<\/a>

… and through the fields …<\/p><\/div>\n

\"snack<\/a>

We stopped at a water station and had a little lunch. Eve though maybe shoving a water bottle in her pants would be a good “pocket” but quickly changed her mind. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"sign\"<\/a>

They had inspirational messages along the way. Lex liked this one.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"waiting\"<\/a>

Eve and Rosy waiting for us slow-pokes. (I have no image editing software on my computer these days so my photos are all straight off the camera (SOC) and the camera isn’t the best these days. #firstworldproblems)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"finish<\/a>

Waiting for Alan at the finish line.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"finished\"<\/a>

He came in strong, beating last years time and his own personal best. He was a happy guy!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"hugs\"<\/a>

He even had energy for hugs at the end! :)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"group<\/a>

Rose took a happy family picture for us. :)<\/p><\/div>\n

Our team leader hosts a big after party at her house each year, but this year we bailed and headed home instead. Alan has a gym membership and was eager to soak in the hot tub, Lex had Lego League, and I just wanted to be home. It was a nice way to end the day.<\/p>\n

Next year Eve and I are going to run the 5K! That’s the plan at the moment anyway. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
