Raleigh Rocks!!

Team Seester is registered for our next 1/2 marathon adventure -- we're off to North Carolina for "Raleigh Rocks!" on April 1st.  This will be a new adventure for us, as Ronen will be joining in the fun.  It's the start of our Spring Break (which we're excited to be spending with Great Grandpa & Great Paty in Tryon, NC!) but Justin won't be able to join us until a few days into the trip.  Sooo...good thing the vast amount of training that I do (hehehe...) is with Ronen in the BOB!  He does quite well during 10K training races, as long as I have an ample supply of snacks, books, and other distractions.  This will be a new one for us, though -- three hours strapped in his stroller.  (Given the recent stroller outings we've done, I'm also a bit concerned he's not going to be satisfied until we've aquired "Stwabehwy Ice Cweam" for him!  Not likely at 7:30 AM.)  We're thinking about bringing a portable DVD player, Toy Story 3, and Cars 2...and hoping that it keeps him occupied throughout the race.  I'd say there's a good chance he goes absolutely stir crazy -- but that'll make the accomplishment all the more meaningful.  As always, we'll tell you all about it.  It's really starting to feel like we might actually (someday!) get to every state...I know two races doesn't seem like a lot, but the fact that we're finding a way to make 'em happen is encouraging & exciting.  Looking forward to continuing to share the adventure with all of you.
