I'm starting a new series called A Week in the Life - it's so much easier to take/share photos with you!
And because I'm a total slacker, A Week in the Life will become something more like A Few Weeks In the Life...
Week of October 14th, 2012
Run for the Animals
Sunday - Oct 14 - We took Ted to the Run for the Animals 5k to benefit the Humane Society. People brought their dogs and pets -- it was so cool! Ted met lots of other puppies and I took lots of photos of him.
NIRCA Regionals
Saturday - Oct 14 - I have had nothing but my responsibilities as NIRCA Event Director on the mind for the past few weeks! It's called October = high stress and no time on my hands!
I went to Ames, Iowa and Ben went to Colorado Springs (luckyyyy!) for Regional meets on Saturday.
Ben had only to be there by Saturday morning and left on a 7am flight Friday. After volunteering to give up his seat on an oversold flight twice, he picked up over $800 in Southwest Airlines vouchers with time to take a nap before his flight (bonus: we got to see each other at the airport as I was arriving to IND and leaving on my flight to Des Moines later that day). Win!
Iowa's not as bad/horrible/boring as I had envisioned. I actually enjoyed myself running on the Iowa State XC course before the races! It's an awesome course, very professionally marked and managed. It's challenging and and hilly, like IU's!

| Me & Greg |
Greg, (his buddy) Kris, and I ate at a restaurant called Hickory Park. In addition to amazing BBQ pulled pork sandwich, there was a WHOLE MENU devoted to dessert!!! We took at least 15 minutes trying to decide what to order. I would definitely recommend/go again.
Ames, IA was so nice I considered changing my plane ticket home to stay on Sunday morning and run the Des Moines Marathon... but not for a change fee of 200 bucks. Must remember that for next year...
