Jude is off in the 2021 Race for Research

Today was the annual Race for Research 5K to support cancer research. We all participated in memory of Brody, the son of our dear friends Jeff and Tina, who succumbed to cancer earlier this year at the age of 14.

It was a great race for Jude. We started in the second wave at 8:30am and he actually came first in our wave. He ran really well, finishing in 21:44 which was good enough for first in his age group and second overall. I had my best 5k finish since I restarted running a couple of years ago, running in 25:48.

Anna with her cheerleading team

Anna’s weekend was taken up with a lot of cheerleading. She had a four hour training yesterday and today another two hours. She loves it and always comes home energized and talking all about it. She is still doing gymnastics and wants to do both for this year. As long as he school work doesn’t suffer we are ok with it.

The big project this weekend was clearing out our basement. After it flooded a few weeks ago we have dug up a lot of the carpet and we have since found out we have asbestos. So, on Wednesday of this week they are coming to do mitigation. And then we will deal with the flooding.

Anna wanted to go shopping at Ikea this week for bedroom furnishings
