the b-town 5k

it's october and therefore time for the annual bucktown 5k. i've done it now for three years and it's always a lot of fun since i usually meet devs at the little loft, then run the course, then do brunch with devs. this year, both me and dev were ahem, not in running shape... she for obvious baby having reasons and me for sheer laziness in working out/running. so instead of making a fool of myself, i suggested to d that maybe we could waaaaaaaalk the race course with piper and since she is too little to run we could just get out there and walk it. and so we did. piper has now completed her first 5k! and it happened to be all through her neighborhood. we may not have won (shocking, i know!), but we did have fun! and afterwards, we found ourselves debating about where to go to brunch and so we finally decided on filter. filter has become a new hangout for us with loads of comfy seating, room for baby and baby accessories and great food/coffee. luckily, the other racers did not have the same fabulous idea as us and so we were able to eat fairly quickly. good... i was starving!

we are total walking champs!!

see? even this picture says there is proof of what champs we are!!!

see? not last, there's still a stroller rolling past the finish line behind us!
