As to the weekend, Saturday started with my makeup 6 mile run. Then it was off to 5 year old's basketball game. Little C's game was good. Only one game today since we wanted 7 year old to rest due to being sick. 

We did some errands and with the rain, the rest of the day was spent indoors and we had game day for the kids. We played some Chinese Checkers and they played a bunch of chess with Daddy. 

Sunday started out with my 9 mile long run. Ran with friends and the company helped a lot! Ran 3 with one friend and with @thespeedysurgeon for 7 miles.

Went on a short family hike after lunch.

Check out all of the turtles we saw at the arboretum.

 The boys also played outside with a friend right before the SuperBowl.

That pretty much sums up my week! Linking this post up with HoHo Runs and MissSippiPiddlin for their Weekly Wrap. 

Have a great week!
