Memorial Day - 5k

co-workers and Matt hanging out before the race

and families!

Matt with Jordan. My co-worker Melissa's dog - he frequents the office as well and is friends with Reese!

He got soooo many pets and hello's before the race, during the race and after the race, it was crazy! Such a cute face, how can anyone resist? :)

We even found his almost double! 

both rescue dogs, both unknown mixed breeds

but so sweet and friendly!

After we finished the race and made it home again (I beat my best ever training time by 5 min!!) we feasted on a grilled dinner of burgers, the first corn of the summer, and some lovely dill pickles.

MMMM! black bean double burger with muenster cheese and lettuce and tomato

the fresh corn - which was grilled and then shucked afterwards - sidenote: TOTALLY easier to shuck corn after it's grilled than before!

Matt's double turkey burger with lettuce, tomato, sauerkraut, mustard, and ketchup.

Reese stayed home while we were at the race in Portsmouth, but he got  to race around the yard before dinner with Tucker from next door (Tucker is a terrier, also a rescue) so he was tuckered out - LOL!

All in all - a tiring but great day! Happy Memorial Day weekend!
