Midnight Madness

This is the third year in a row that Mike and I have participated in the event "Midnight Madness." It's a 5 or 10 k race in Ames, Iowa. The runs usually start around 8pm and afterwards there is a pasta dinner, beer and music! It's always a fun time. Darrell walks with me and Mike runs. Mike did awesome as usual. Me - I walked the whole thing. I walked by two firemen who were dressed in full gear (helmets, hoses, oxygen tanks, and carrying an American flag)! I pretended like the crowd was cheering for me instead of the firemen. The weather this year was fantastic! The only downside to the festivities is that it takes places in Ames... home of the Cyclones - boo! Here is a picture of us after the race:

Yes, my husband is wearing flag shorts. He loves to embarass me.
