We got to our hotel right after 3pm on Friday. The first thing we did when we got to Laguna Hills was pick up our race gear. Our hotel was nice because it had two separate rooms. The girls were able to take naps and go to bed while Phillip and I hung out in the other room and watched TV.
Saturday we just played at Capistrano beach. It was beautiful! And the weather was perfect.
I turned Maya into a mermaid.
Then Phillip and the girls played in the pool for a few minutes. Then we had to go get dinner.
We had dinner at Olive Garden. It was good and the elderly couple behind us was so sweet. They loved Addison and Maya.
Today was our race. Can I be honest? This was the most challenging race I have ever done. Pushing a double jogger up hill (and I mean up hill) was torture. I wanted to go faster but my legs just couldn't. I felt like crying toward the end because my legs were not responding. We finished right under a 10 minute pace. But I was hoping for better. I just want a flat-fast course and no jogger (is that to much to ask?). I want a real time! I was trying to just have fun, but when your body is out of energy there is no fun to it. I guess I should quit my complaining. I just don't feel that great today! Tomorrow might be better.
Maya did her first race. She ran the diaper dash for 3 years old and under. She loved it. We didn't carry our camera in the jogger so we couldn't take pictures because the camera was in the car a few miles away :( I hope the photographers who were hired for the race took pictures of her. This is her showing off her first medal ever!

I'm sure it was very hard pushing the girls, especially with not training for it. I'm sorry that it wasn't more of a positive experience for you in that way. I think that you are incredible for having done it.
I am so impressed with you!!!
