Catch-Up

Since it is almost August 4th, I am now going to tell you what we did on July 4th. We ran. All of us. We joined the American community for the 4th of July 2/5/10K. Kim, Benj, and I all ran the 5K. Benj won. He is kind of a beast in the running arena. David, Sarah, Anna, Matthew, and Jubes all did the 2K. Anna came in fourth. She has vowed never to run again. We made tie-dye T-shirts for the run and because we have a family tradition of making shirts for the 4th. We skipped last year, but as the kids say, we skipped most things last year. This was my first 5K and wow, was it long. At least the course was pretty. We ran around the former Imperial Palace, past the US Ambassador's estate, and around a lovely lake. All in all, it was a great way to spend the morning.

Absolutely LOVE both sets of T-shirts, especially the tie-dyed ones. (Did Dave actually wear one of those?) We are very impressed that you all completed such a lofty goal. Each time I read your blog I am more and more convinced that you ought to write a book. You might be the next Julie Powell but with a different twist!
Much love to all - we miss you tons!
