City Manager's 5k

I am hoping that if I blog about things within a couple days of it happening I will help me be a little better at keeping up with the blog. Let's see how this goes...

Saturday Michael, Collin and I walked the City Manager's annual 5k run/walk. Michael was going to run it, but his calves started acting up, so he decided to play it safe and walk it with Collin and I. The route went through Sea World which was pretty fun, except we didn't get to see any animals. Sad :( but it was the perfect morning for a nice brisk walk as a family- foggy and cool. Collin had a blast sitting up in his stroller! He stayed awake for the whole thing, and just enjoyed looking around, chewing on his hands (or sweatshirt, or blanket, or whatever else came close to his mouth), and letting out the occasional squeal. It was adorable, and he got lots of smiles from the fellow participants. Michael joked that he was just telling people to get out of the way.

The best part was that there were so many people that we knew there! City employees get to do it for free, so there were lots of people from Michael's office and other people he works with in the city. And for everyone else it was only $7 to register so there was a pretty good size group of friends from our ward. We have really made so many good friends here!

After the race some of us met at this total hole-in-the-wall place for breakfast. We were taking a bit of a risk since none of us had been, just read reviews online. But it turned out to be a winner...despite it's very sketchy location! We all LOVED the food we ordered. I'd definitely recommend Pancake Joe's if you are in the area and in need of some yummy breakfast. But go early...our wait was about 30 minutes, and when we were leaving it was up to 45 minutes!
