Coast to Crest Run - The Pictures

-
Okay, so I know that I already blogged about Tara and Ryan coming to visit us a few weeks back, and in that blog, I discussed the Coast to Crest run we did.  Once that happens, I normally don't revisit races, other than to link to them in subsequent blogs for random reasons.

HOWEVER.

I finally got around to downloading the pictures from the event from the race's website, and they are pretty magic.  First, it's super cool that Tara and I ran this together, because we have all sorts of shots of the two of us during the event.  That includes this one, which the race organizers obviously liked enough that they put their watermark on it - maybe we'll be on a brochure in the future!


Neat, right?

Okay, let's do these chronologically.  Here we go.  First, the 10K took off.



Can you see Chris?
He's kinda blurry, but he's like
eight feet taller than everyone else,
so he's easy to see.
He's wearing blue,
and he's right in the middle,
under the arch.

Here's a better one of him, flying solo:


Next, Tara and I ran past the first set of race photogs:


This really was a fun event.

Although they finally figured out we wanted one together, they did have a few separate shots of me on my own, which cracked me up:



Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhh.  Clap, clap, clap.

A little while after the 10K kicked off, the 5K started, and it was Ryan's turn to get captured:


He.is.focused.

They also caught him coming back from the 5K turnaround point:


Thumbs up this time!

Although that's a good one of Ryan, I have to admit that this one might be my favorite.  I mean, technically, he's in it, right?


Congrats, random guy,
you're on the blog now.

At first, I thought this was just another totally awful race photo (there are entire websites devoted to those - check them out here if you want to kill an hour or two almost wetting yourself with laughter), but this guy had the same face in all his photos, so I think he was just having fun.  Either way, awesome.

Anywhoo, around this time, those of us in the 10K passed another picture station:


Tara and I got individual glamour shots this time:




Tara knows where the cameras are!
See, it's not just me!

Ryan finished strong:


Down the backstretch!

Chris was next:



Behold the face of a man
who sees the finish line
(and knows that beer and hot dogs
can be found there).

Finally, it was the ladies' turn:


My foot placement looks not so great here.
At least we're still cute.

One more share of our post-race shot:


Cheers to another great race!

Later,

Amy

Some News...Part One

Well, hello there, everyone!  It's been a hot minute since we last blogged together, and a lot has been going on! The two of us outside the house in North Encanto, in  which we just passed the 5 year mark! In addition to our normal roster of working, frequenting local restaurants, and spending time with friends and family, the past few months have been a flurry of activity - although we've been thinking about it for several years, we're finally taking the plunge and relocating further east, moving from Phoenix to the greater Lexington, Kentucky area.  While some folks have been apprised of every step we've taken in this journey, to others, this may come as surprising news.  To hopefully help explain, here's a brief timeline of events that led us to this major life change: January - March 2019 - We decided that although life in SoCal is amazing, it isn't for us (Chris' 90 minute commute each way to work was a major factor), and we relocated back to Phoenix, b...

Some News...Part Two

Did you read Part One already?  You probably should! As mentioned in the previous blog entry, we're moving (yes, again); this time we're heading northeast, to Richmond, near Lexington, Kentucky! Welcome to 1601 Four Mile Rd, Richmond, KY ! In mid March, Chris flew to the Lexington area for a long weekend, during which he met with our realtor (and cousin!) Scott and visited around 10-15 houses.  He was quickly able to eliminate several; we plan on parking the travel trailer on our property and raising a few chickens (eventually), so anything with an overly restrictive HOA was out of the question.  Due to the egg machines and a few other projects we'd like to pursue (extensive gardening, beekeeping, etc.), anything with less than acre of land wouldn't work, nor would anything where said land was extremely steep, which is a concern in this hilly part of the country. Of the properties that met these criteria (along with the initial set we established, which included having...

House Pictures...Finally!

Howdy, everyone!  It's hard to believe, but we're fast approaching the four month anniversary of signing our closing papers on the house in Richmond, Kentucky, and we're  finally  ready to share interior house pictures with all of you lovely blog readers!   But first, an exterior one! As is pretty normal, it took awhile to get everything settled; although we were unpacked and living comfortably in the house within a month or so, finishing up the interior decorating took substantially longer.  One of the main reasons for this is the bright, sunshiny yellow door you see in the picture above.  When we bought the house, this was the front door: While the black color was fine (if uninspired), it was the massive amount of glass in the door that drove us to find a better solution.  The road in front of the house is moderately busy, and we often have deliveries being dropped on our porch; every time someone drove by, which the dogs could easily see, they ...
