All Together Now

What gets Frances, and the rest of us, up and at 'em of a brisk Sunday morning?


A 5K road race, of course! Yes, that's right, Mark, Frances and I participated in our first race ever. Frances had a little help from our friend Dave (thanks, Dave!), who wanted to hone his running-while- stroller-pushing skills. The rest of us just wanted to finish the race. Here's Racer #792 warming up for the start:



And, 3.1 miles later:

We all completed the course in good form and really enjoyed ourselves. We're thinking of joining another race in May, but this time Dave wants to try it with Frances and his own daughter which will be over 44 pounds of baby plus a double stroller. (Mark and I just want to finish with better times.) Frances thinks she'll be ready to take on the race all by herself, thank you very much.

  1. way to go morgan. From the nature trail to this. I always knew you were a sporty one in disguise.

  2. Beka, You and Dan should be in a race. It's a great bonding experience.

  3. we seem to have opted for long walks instead. slow but steady wins the race apparently and permits you to end up in a bar.

    But I will consult w/DBR regarding the potential bonding we could enjoy should we move a bit faster. NYC anytime?
