Well, the Swedberg's Cleaned house at the Grafton Days 5K....in fact the Lindsey's (my maiden name) did most of the house cleaning! I ran the 5K in 26:50... a PR! It was the HOTTEST race I have ever had to run! It was 80 degrees at the start and not a lick of air circulation. I placed 2nd in my age category (29 and under) which I was pumped about because my biggest competition were the 3 HS Cross Country girls that wererunning as well! I dont' know how many other women were in my age group....but a win is a win!!! Rollie placed FIRST in his age category....he came in at 23:23. And together, along with our priest in Grafton and one of my classmates father, we came in third place in the 2.5K relay! To add to it, Greta, my neice won the "People's Choice" award in the dog show. I think Greta won because she was doing such a great job of walking her dog around....and then halfway through, she decided to throw herself on the ground and have a tantrum. I thought it was adorable. my sister? Not so much!
The REUNION was fun. The first night was a blast, talking and catching up with people I haven't seen in a long time. This one gal, Heather Ditzer...was NOT popular in HS, was less than average and very quiet. It was so great to see her!!! You could tell she was completely comfortable in her own skin...but was a KNOCK OUT! And super postivite and friendly....had a lot to offer in bringing people together at the events..... Can't explain it, but was really impressed with how confident she was to be "heather ditzer".... Kinda like the country song "she don't know she's beautiful."
The second night....mmmmm....I could have taken it, or left it. People kind of reverted back to thier old selves....competing for attention, being great for this and that...reliving HS all over again....drama. Overall, I had a ton of fun, so I can't complain.
That's my update!

Leah - Glad to hear you had a fun weekend and did so well in the 5K. Our Galesburg celebration was awesome. The run was great too, we had almost 75 participants and the times were fast. Men's division winner was 18:20 and women's was 20:08. I rode bike and was official timer. I almost did not make it back to the finish line in time, they were running so fast:-)
Glad all went well Leah--and way to bring home the medal!!!! You guys are awesome!
Hope to see you on the streets again soon, we missed you this week!
You guys look adorable here! I would love to haar more details about the reunion. I have NEVER been invited to our HS reunion. Though I would LOVE to attend. I was a "nerd" in high school and would enjoy seeing those "mean girls' today. Ha!!
