The much-anticipated 33rd annual running of the 500 Festival Mini Marathon brought Sara and Kevin to Indy for the weekend (along with 34097 other people). The weather turned out to be beautiful, and some of us ran very well. Some of us were foolish and pushed our way through injuries, but at the end we all finished and could then focus on enjoying each other’s company and eating poorly at every opportunity (both of which we did very much). And now there are bigger goals to focus on: everyone mark your calendars for the Marine Corps Marathon in DC on October 26th. 26.2 miles, and Team Hansen/Sherry is taking it on!

Mommy, on the other hand, pulled her groin muscle at mile 3, stupidly toughed it out for the remaining ten miles, and scowled her way across the finish line, limping like Quasi Modo. But she finished, and is now limping around like an idiot

Herman and Mr Jeff (David’s favorite friend from Kinder Care) smile at the end, also glad to be done

Sunday morning was a bit more relaxing. Eggs, scones, and PJs until at least 11am, and we lounged in the sun

He’s always fascinated with the hose. We always have to make sure the hose is turned off

We ate a lovely lunch (in the shade, much to Aunt Sara’s chagrin) at Bazbeaux’s in Broad Ripple, and dude loved the creamy basil dressing. A lot. Like, no silverware a lot
