Yesterday was darn near perfect. It was the warmest day we had seen in too long. I took the day off to run the 5k Run For The Cheetah. The race was small, perfect being i had not done a race in over a year and am still having trouble finding a workout routine since the baby was born. The race was great! Some hills but not too much, the temperature was perfect. I ran at an average pace for the little training i had done.  Elio had his kids run, a half mile through the zoo. He was so excited! He lined up with the other kids and took off. A girl fell in front of him causing a small pile up. Elio got up and ran as fast as he could. They ran through the zoo. When we saw him coming after the turn around, he was bumping the kid next to him trying to pass. I yell "Elio, run as fast as you can!" and he picked up his pace to the finish. He was so proud of himself and Papa and I were equally as proud. We hung around on the lawn of the zoo in the sunshine while Elio did some crafts and had his face painted. It was the most relaxed I had felt in a long time. After walking around the zoo a little, we headed home where Papa did some work in the yard while i looked after the kids. The day was topped off with dinned in the back yard and bedtime stories. Not a bad day in my book.
