Crushing the Competition!!!

Ann-Marie and Erin ran the half marathon in Kelowna this past weekend. Ann-Marie ran it to see how she would do as part of her marathon training, and was hoping to run it in 1:34. Erin took a break from studying all the time, leaving her cubicle for an hour and 51 minutes and they both slayed it!!!! Ann-Marie killed the competition, running it in 1:28. She was second for the women and first in her age class, she was pretty pleased with her time... Erin finished 5th in her age class out of 21, not bad there academic.

I think Erin is trying to wrestle Ann-Marie to the ground in this picture

I added this picture because this guy is so great (I'm not sure if he was racing or running from the cops though). But also because there are some usual blog subjects lurking in the background. Kind of a where's Waldo thing.

Goin' for a walk

He walked about 200m and every time we would pick him up he'd cry and wriggle to get back down.

Tongue out for balance

Looks like CTM(15) down 25cm, PC.

He's getting the hang of it, more and more every day!

I've been feeling like a sasquatch hunter recently, creeping around the house trying to keep the camera hidden from Tobin and whipping it out just as he takes some steps. So far I've shot about 300 hours of video, with only these few steps captured. I'm starting to really understand what wildlife videography is all about. Maybe I should build a blind, or hide out in a pile of his toys. Anyway, here are a few steps. He seems to do his best walking whilst naked, and he can't seem to walk without dragging his blanket around, which doesn't really help the process much.
