Update

Well, it's been a while since I've posted anything here, so I'm just going to summarize what we've been up to lately.

On March 31, I completed the Cooper River Bridge Run, a large 10k run here in Charleston. This was my second 10k race ever, the first having been 12 years ago (and boy does that make me feel old). I'd been training for it since early January, and my goal was to finish in under an hour from the time I crossed the starting line (a.k.a. "chip time"). Not only did I beat that goal by 4 minutes, but I also finished in under an hour from when the starting gun went off (a.k.a. "gun time"), which meant that my official time, as printed in the newspaper, was 59:58. I was pretty happy, but had to deal with some big-time soreness for about 4 days afterwards.
Also, on a related note, congrats to Eulynn, who finished the Cherry Blossom 10-miler the next day.

My sister and my mom came to visit for a few days. They did a ton of shopping and went to the beach. It was fun to see them, and I think they enjoyed escaping the chilly April weather in Michigan.

Mike and I went to Opening Day for the Riverdogs, our local minor-league baseball team. It was a pretty uneventful game, with almost as many errors as hits. And this weekend is the Ballpark Festival of Beers!
