A day in my life...: December 2008

Well, it's been awhile since I've sat down to fill you in on all the happenings of the Bryant family. There were a couple of interesting things in November that I'd like to reflect back on and tell you about.

The first is the Turkey Trot. The day after the Mustang 5K in October, we began training for the Plainview HS Turkey Trot 5K. Not only because we (me, Allison, & Paul) wanted a better race time on this next 5K, but mainly because of the hill at Chavies that is in the last mile. To say that hill is killer is to put it mildly! It is definitely rough! It is a challange in itself to not just want to stop running and walk up it. Well, my goals for the Turkey Trot were: #1- Run the entire way (and survive the hill!), #2- To place in my age division, & #3- To beat my previous race time.

As Meatloaf says, "Two out of three ain't bad!" I ran the entire way, placed first in the female 19-29 year old age division, but did not beat my Mustang 5K time. I finished in 30:31 (25 seconds slower than my PR). I blame it on the hill. :) Allison finished a few seconds after me and placed 2nd in our division. Paul finished in 27:32 and place 3rd in the Male 19-29 year old age division. I'm really proud of our efforts!

There were a lot of runners!

We did it!

WINNERS!

The next event was Logan's first haircut. We took Logan to The New You (Paul's cousin, Linda,'s salon) for his first haircut on November 29th. He did so well! The only time we really had trouble with him was when she needed to use the clippers to get it straight at his neck. He wasn't going to let something make that much noise behind his head without being able to see it and touch it! So she ended up having to use the scissors. He looks so handsome! Just like a big boy!
