On a training note, I'm very happy with how the half marathon training has gone. I put in a 9-miler last week, a 9.5 miler yesterday and they both felt pretty good. I was at 10:02 pace yesterday, which I was very happy with. I still have a fear of the last three miles, I'm hoping to get in at least one run over 10 miles before my race on the 27th. I'm not really approaching it as a race, I just want to be able to run through it as if it were another training run. I'm not worried about the time, I just want to get to the end and not feel completely awful like I did in May. My running partner is pregnant, she's about 18 weeks along now and she's still running 4-5 miles at just about our normal pace. For my long run days I've been going out for 4-5 on my own and then meeting up with her for a second "loop". I'm very happy for her that she's pregnant, but I'm a little sad that I'll be back on my own in the not too distant future. However, next summer she'll be back, I hope, and we'll get back into the same routine.
Of course I have more pictures to share, so here they are.
Here we are on our geocaching excursion.

Great pics!
Sounds like your HM training is coming along nicely. I've got that same fear of the last 3 miles. I'm hoping to get in an 11 before mine too.
geocaching sounds fun and challenging. something the whole family can get into. enjoy the early fall warm weather!
Busy busy busy! Good kob on the runs!
I keep asking myself why I can't even squeeze in one workout a week any more when you're managing to train for a big race with 3 times the kids! You're doing so great - thanks for being a great example for me to tag along after.
