"Mom, I Won the Shamrock Shuffle!"

On Sunday morning, Sherri and I (along with 30,000 fellow runners) completed the Shamrock Shuffle 5 mile race in downtown Chicago. It was a great race, despite the misty fog and drizzle. Sherri patiently paced alongside my slow & short legs that had not trained for the 5 miles (and as a result are still throbbing). We ran the entire course together and finished in 49 minutes, so fun!

While we ran, Mom and Aunt Nora were back at the hotel watching over Oliver. When we returned from the race, Sherri nudged me and clued me in on her early April Fools joke idea. She walked up to our Mom's in the lobby of the hotel and exclaimed "I won the race!"

They believed her.

Ah, fun with gullible Moms!
