Clearwater Summer Scorcher



Today was the Summer Scorcher Race in Clearwater. It was no scorcher, that's for sure! It drizzled at the beginning of the race, and was a total downpour by the time Val crossed the finish line. This was a 5k, and she completed it in the rain, in just over 28 minutes, finishing 5th in her age division.
I stayed in the car, with Emily, who slept the entire time. She did not want to get up this morning! She did wake up, but it was because the rain was pounding on the roof of the car, so that is where we stayed. We could hear the announcer though, and I saw Val cross the 1 3/4 mile marker.
Mark stayed out for most of the race. He woke up in the night with a terrible pain in his eye, but you know him, he refused to go to the Dr or emergency room, he just wants to wait it out. I think he probably scratched it in his sleep, since there is nothing in there, but we are keeping an eye on it. HAHA! Keeping an eye on his eye. Get it? Do you people get my jokes????!!!!!!
