Superbowl party


A couple in my Sunday School group hosted the party. We had a loaded baked potato bar with all kinds of toppings...pulled pork, chili, sour cream, cheese, salsa...YUM! We also had several kinds of desserts, including chocolate, football-shaped Rice Krispy Treats. Toddlers, grown-ups, tons of food...quite a social! My team lost, but life goes on. Jessica does a great job planning socials. I'm already looking forward to the next one. Our class has a great time together.

NHL All-Stars 5k


In case you've been living under a rock, the NHL-All Star game was last weekend. Along with the festivities, a 5k race was held at the RBC center. My sister encouraged me to run it and I got the flyer in the mail...what the hey! It was a pretty cold morning, but the race staff let everyone wait inside before the race. I got a super-cool long-sleeved tee and a finisher medal...I'm getting quite the shirt collection. The course was a bit hilly for this girl, but I tried not to let hills get the best of me. I was pleased to find out that I ran my fastest time for a 5k(I PR'd, in running lingo). My time was 31:22 (mile pace of 10:07). I saw several people who ran the Ridgewood Turkey Trot 8k (they were wearing the shirts). Great weather and great race!
