On Friday Jerry and I had dinner with my sister and brother in law, Jess and Jeremy. Jess is an amazing photographer and gave me a few tips on shooting food photos.We talked aperture, shutter speed, lighting, and lots more! Then we enjoyed a delicious steak dinner.

Saturday we were off to pick up Boilermaker race packets at the Expo. Somebody was psyched to get a white (semi-elite) bib!
I also attended my friend Emily's baby shower on Saturday. Emily and her husband are expecting their first child (a girl!) in August. The shower was held at the Rome Art and Community Center, which was beautiful.
Then it was time to carbo load for the race! The weather was gorgeous on Saturday so the runners ate and hydrated outside. We had whole wheat spaghetti, meatballs, salad, and garlic bread. Those of us who weren't running had a few Saranacs.
Today was a gorgeous day to run a 15k!
Jerry ran a personal best of 55:53! It seems like every race he runs, he gets faster. I was such a proud wife today.
And my sister Lauren finished her first Boilermaker! My brother in law Brett ran his second.
Lookin' good at mile 9! |
Congrats Brett and Lauren! |
Congratulations to all the runners today who made it 9.3 miles in the best 15k in the country!
It was a super fun, packed weekend! :-) Thanks for the awesome shower gifts!
