Twelfth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Man

Friends and clients before the race
I love when I can combine my family with my other passion of running.  Most days lately it seems I am abandoning my family to get in runs or to run with clients.  Monday morning I do take Ailbe and she chills out (kind of) in the jogger while I run but that is an exception more than a rule (really just a necessity) so I was glad when the whole family was able to run in the Seahawks 12k and Kids 1/2mi. Race this year.  Mike and I so rarely get to run together but fortunately the last few years we have managed to be able to.  It does help that Mom lives just a few blocks from the start line.  Rooney has run this race twice I think but this was Ailbe's first shot.  They both did great!  Rooney came in like a champ and Ailbe had a good time running with Grandma Peggie and Daddy. Seems all the running I've been doing this last quarter with clients and the new bootcamp classes I have going on have paid off because Mike and I both got a PR this race.  Felt good and strong!  A family that runs together stays together. That's how the saying goes, right?
