Well, I finished the race!! I wasn’t the first by along while; the 1st place person ran the race in just over 15 minutes!! But, I wasn’t the last person either. I ended up running the 5K in 36 minutes and 36 seconds. I don’t think that is to bad for my first time and considering that I only had about 4 weeks to get ready. I am very happy I did it. It made me feel good that I got off my butt and even tried to do it. I have already decided that I will run again next year and see how much I improve. I am going to keep training and try to get up to running non-stop for 30 minutes!!! Yeah, we’ll see if that actually ever happens, but I’m still going to try. 
After the race Southern Highlands had a festival with free pumpkins, bounce houses for the kids and lots and lots of booths with trick or treating. It ended up being very fun. Then, we headed home for some rest before heading over to Nicholas birthday party. We were also supposed to go to our friends Halloween party, but around 8:00pm I was done. All I wanted to do was sleep!!!
Sunday we looked at granite for the kitchen and checked out some new sinks and faucets. I’m not sure when all of this will get purchased, but we are at least in the deciding/picking out stage. Then, when we got home there was a message from another set of friends asking us to come over for pizza and carving pumpkins. So, we headed over to their house. We had so much fun!!! The kids played, the adults chatted, we eat pizza, cupcakes, carved pumpkins, and played the Wii. All in all it was a great weekend!!!
