Frigid Five

Kyle ran in a race called the Frigid Five this weekend. I wouldn't have ran just because the name, oh and because I more than dislike running. Anyways, Kyle was training for a half marathon this past summer but couldn't run due to a knee injury. He's started running again with Joe and he's back to running without knee pain (and with health insurance :) ). What's funny is we have all been laughing at how warm it was going to be because we have had a pretty calm winter. When I say pretty calm, I mean some 60 and 70 degree days in January. Well, it started getting cold on Thursday and by Saturday it was FREEZING. They ran in 19 degree weather. Celeste and I brought the girls to cheer the guys on in the last 1/2 mile and it was a bad idea. Liz was fine but Lacey hated blankets, gloves, hats, and the stroller. So, I was trying to keep her warm all the while my hands were frozen (I still can't find my amazing warm leather gloves since the move...I hate moving and losing things). Then I started getting comments from people, "Yeah she's probably really cold" and "It's freezing out here, she probably wants to be warm". Seriously? Do people think I'm trying to win bad mom of the year and try to not keep her warm. Well, I just gave up and went to the car. That's after we cheered Joe on and we totally missed Kyle who was a few feet in front of him (I had no idea he was wearing a blue sweater and not a red running shirt) Anyways, the guys finished, they were happy with their time and look forward to their next race. Hopefully this time it won't be so freakin cold....
