Running and Wrenzo

Coco and Dun Dun moved into a new house, and Coco was encouraging a visit. I told Jim I wanted to go. He had been contemplating another marathon, just for motivation to exercise, so he decided to look for one in the D.C. area. The Harper's Ferry marathon on October 10 would have been ideal, but Jim has some big mandatory Scout training that day. We settled on the Baltimore marathon on October 17, and I'm very excited about the trip.

I thought maybe I'd run the half-marathon, so we did a few long Saturday runs together. One day we decided Wren could sit up well enough to ditch the car seat and minimize the stroller weight. Turns out she slumps down quite a bit, although she never seemed to be in danger of sliding all the way out. Maybe that's because Ever leaned forward awkwardly the entire time (about an hour) so she could keep her hand protectively on her sister. It was very sweet:

This little one lucked out in the big-sister department:
