January brought cold temperatures and the arrival of Grandma, Grandpa, Tara and Lauren from New Jersey. It's always great when family comes to see you but the real motivation for their visit was Tara's participation in the P.F. Chang's Rock and Roll Marathon. Lauren's love for long distance running has rubbed off on Tara and she did her first 5 mile run while Lauren had to cheer her on from the sidelines due to injury.
Here she is at the start - looking happy and ready to rock it!
She crafted her own shirt to run in - quite creative and Sun Devil appropriate!
The starting line was right downtown Mill Avenue, the heart of Tempe and ASU.
Here she is after the race, still happy!
What an appropriate sign because YES sometimes starting is the hardest part!
Here are some goodies from the race, a bag and a medal, with her name and time engraved.
Definitely something to be proud of!
Other than the excitement of the race itself, the other time was spent hanging out at the house, enjoying the badminton temps outside.
Spenser was in seventh heaven with so many badminton players in town! I don't think he even got on his computer the whole time his cousins and grandparents were here. That is something let me tell you!
Thanks for the visit and hope to see you in April for Samour Sounds next show!
