First soccer Game and birthday weekend

Friday night we baked my birthday cake but then the girls and Corey took me out for my birthday to the Brewery and had a special cake so we had bday cake for Saturday breakfast!

Saturday was Mia's first soccer GAME! She did awesome - was right in there taking the ball out and kicking it towards the goal. She played most of the game. They did lose 1-0 but it was a great game! Then we took the kiddos to grandma and papo's for the night. Corey and I headed downtown for a sleepover and  my third Half Marathon. We had lunch at Rockwell's in ravenswood then took the train down to our hotel...we quickly went over to Navy Pier to pick up my race packet then headed back to rest. We went out for pizza and salad at Italian Village then met one of my BFF Mary and Sean for drinks at Elephant and Castle and dessert for my birthday - it was a great day!

We went to bed by 1130 then up at 5am! Headed down to Jackson Park and I ran the Chicago Half Marathon. Corey saw me at mile 4 and my Aunt Stacy and Uncle John (played the congo drums) were at mile 8! It was amazing - a hard run but I finished in 1:52 - 15 minutes better than last year. We headed back to the hotel to rest then we grabbed coffee, the train and back up north to pick up our little family. We missed the girls (and beagles) but it was a refreshing weekend away.
