Just ready to head to bed and thought I'd drop a line about our weekend. Since she's too modest to saying anything -- I will report that Bobbie did very well in her marathon by setting a personal best time of 3 hours, 37 minutes. She finished 5th out of 59 women in her age group. Her time qualifies her for the Boston Marathon next spring -- needless to say she did great.
Kade and I rode the bike around town and cheered her on in three different places. Of course, while she was sweating it out on miles 15 through 23, we were sitting in a downtown donut shop feeding our faces. But, we did catch her on the home stretch and biked along the sidewalk to cheer her in (while almost taking out a few spectators).
Kade (and his coach) won his first soccer game. I think the coach is more tired after the games than any of the kids. Kade's first T-ball practice is Monday night -- he's extremely excited about it -- a lot more than soccer, which makes his dad happy.
Hope everyone has a great week.

Bobbie that is totally awesome. You rock!! So does this mean the family needs to take a trip next year to the Boston Marathon?? I am game!! Keep us posted! I have always wanted to make a trek out East.
We need some more pics posted Kevin on the coach and his team. We missed you at the farm a couple of weeks ago.
Congradulations, Bobbie! What a great job!! I had the same ? as Tammy- Do we need to start looking at airline tickets for the Boston Race?? Would be a blast- and like Tammy I would love to see New England. ( But could we find our way around-- I wonder). Mostly I wish we could have been cheering you on with Kevin.
Kade and Kevin sounds like you've got the soccer thing figured out. When you've got a couple of talented guys working together what can you expect, huh? Good luck with the ball games.
You have probably all talked to Jill since the weekend you were home. If not, she called this week and it sounds like Memorial weekend won't work for them, so they are aiming for July now. Maybe that will help with anyone's plans for that weekend-- Sounds like all is well there, just patiently crossing off days.
Kade, the chickies are doing fine. Getting so they fly over the cardboard so I will have to give them more room pretty soon.
Well, kind of a long comment-- thanks for posting, Kevin, Love, Mom
Congrats Bobbie. I knew I should have tried to make it. Hope your day of recovery went well.
Mom Kriz...maybe you and I need to take a trek out East...There is just so much history!!
What rock stars the Wickham family members are! I did a little marathon of my own this weekend. I think I may have even beat Bob's time...I sat on my rear for more than 4 hours! Of course that was after I walked the 5K Race for the Cure Saturday morning.I also ate lots of food for many consecutive minutes! I have my own "athletics." Good for the soccer player/coach (is the assistant still on probabtion?) and congrats Bob on the run. You are awesome!
What an achievement. Sounds like you cant pass up running in boston. Wow three hours of running makes me hurt just thinking about it. Great job.

Thanks for all the nice notes, guys. What Kevin didn't say in his post is that I spent from about mile 17 through mile 23 telling myself that I wasn't going to make it! So, I kind of lost the mental battle there for a while. Oh, and I almost passed out in the port-a-potty at mile 19, but other than that, it was great! Ha.
