Sofia was out in our garden helping me move the rocks and weeds away. When Chris came to take a picture, she just posed like this for literally 10-12 shots. We're not really sure why. :) Maybe she thought she was in trouble. Maybe she just liked that face. :) 

 

 

Yesterday was the famous annual half-marathon here in Gothenburg. Over 50,000 people registered and around 35,000 people actually ran. The most ever! People literally come from all over the world to run this race. The electricity and excitement in the air jolts you with a certain surge of energy you just can't experience anywhere else. And there's nearly just as many people on the sides the entire race cheering you on! It's thrilling! Chris and I both ran this year. I had run two years ago (about three weeks before the race, I found out I was nearly 2 months pregnant...interesting), and this is about Chris' 7th time, but this was the first year, we both ran together. I guess not really together considering Chris ran it in 1.29 and I came in a half hour later at 2.03, but it was fun being able to be there together at least. Chris' goal was to get under 1.30, so he's quite pleased, my goal was under 2.00, but I really couldn't have pushed myself anymore than I did, so I can't complain either. Chris isn't experiencing any muscle pain today, and I'm feeling it mostly in my joints, but for the most part, we're both healthy, satisfied, and proud!
