this past weekend, the shamrock races were held in vb...while billy worked, i headed down to the oceanfront early saturday morning to meet up with amanda, jen, and samantha, jen's adorable 5-month old. it was lots of fun to catch up with the girls and cheer on a couple of their friends in the 8k race. and to meet jen's sweet baby for the first time. she is one of the happiest and prettiest babies i've met! after the race, we headed to brunch at ihop, which was fun, and we actually ended up being there for like 3 hours just visiting!
after i got home, i did some cleaning, yardwork, and got dinner ready before billy got back from work. billy and i had a lowkey evening, as we knew it'd be another early morning on sunday.
we woke up bright and early and headed to the beach again on sunday for the marathon billy was running. he was a little uncertain how it would go after a severe bout with the flu during the previous week. we met up with his running coach, and i was able to tag along with him on my bike, which was lots of fun. we watched the race start, then headed down pacific for a couple miles to watch the runners at around the 4-mile mark. we were able to see the runners in a couple different places from there, as we biked back towards the race start/finish area, so that was fun, and i had a nice time getting some exercise and visiting with coach.
billy looked strong each time we saw him, and i was able to stake out a good spot at the finish line to watch him come in at a pr time of 2:44:15!!! he negative-split the race, so i wasn't quite ready for him to come in when did and only got a picture of him from the back...oops! i'm so proud of him for pushing through and running so well, despite feeling so bad last week :)
we hung out at the post-race party for awhile, which was lots of fun! then, we celebrated with some yummy mexican from la parilla that night and watched "the switch", which was cute and funny.
