Mixed Nuts

Team Mixed Nuts completed their first run this weekend! The newly formed team is composed of family and friends alike--all nuttier than ever!



Jace heads the Fan Club as indicated on his totally awesome shirt designed by Fabulous Aunt Kay. Actually, the entire team wore shirts in various colors which caught the attention of race organizers. A photo of Team Mixed Nuts was subsequently featured in the post race analysis email sent out to competitors.

Fabulous Aunt Kay, who completed her first 5k in outstanding fashion (finishing in the top 5 in her age group), also made the local newspaper. Her determined mug shot was captured at the start line and somehow made local news! Mommy can't help but point out that she herself ran at record pace (for her that is), finishing in 24:30....that's 7:53/mile for those who care! The rest of the competitors fared great as well, with one Nut even wearing a tiara during the entire race!

The fun filled weekend began with Grandma F., Aunt Erin, Tom, and Kona arriving for their stay at Casa Jace. The rest of the crew came later and joined in some carb-eating pre-race fun.


Race day was forecast to be snowy and cold so Grandma F. and Jacer decided to cheer from the comforts of home.


Throughout the weekend, Jace was more than willing to partake in some Erin and Tom fun.


Ozzy was more than willing to partake in some Kona fun.....which wore the old man out!


And what Sunday morning would be complete without a swim at the hotel pool?? Ok, maybe a 'skim the edge' of the hotel pool...and this was after much coaxing!


Congrats all you fellow Mixed Nuts! Can't wait until May when various Nuts will Run Like a Mother!
