This morning Ben and Rob ran the Army 10 Miler. Their families were poopheads and couldn't get their acts together to see them at the finish line, but the did a great job. Both finished in under 86 minutes - top 10% for overall times! The best part of all was Ben ran for TAPS, or Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a non-profit organization that helps those who have lost a loved one on active duty. It's an amazing organization, and when a friend of ours who was supposed to run for them was unable to, Ben asked if he could step in. It made an pretty awesome experience even more special. I couldn't be more proud of our runners.
After the run, we had lunch with the McClellands before sending them on their way back home. It was a great weekend - lots of little girlies playing and having fun together, many laughs and old memories shared by us grown-ups. The best indicator of a great weekend is always how exhausted we all are at the end of it. The girls were in bed with the lights out before 8pm, and I am aiming to be asleep before 10pm. Perfect way to end a terrific weekend.
