Today was the fourth (I believe) running of the Fargo Marathon so congratulations to all those runners who took on this feat. There were two Kenyans who were brought in as ringers and were favored to win, but due to them running another marathon in the last few weeks, Eric Sondag of Grand Forks won with an unofficial course record of 2:30:34. Robin, Adam, and I met Joel and Erika by Island Park Cycles at the Great Northern to cheer on the runners about three miles into the course. There was a steady stream of runners for almost an hour. After it slowed down, Robin took a bike for a test drive from IPC to Island Park where we met Erika (again). We spent a little time at the park where Adam loved the swings again and went to Erika's for lunch. We grilled hot dogs, ate shrimp salad and Texas Caviar. After lunch, we all came back home for a nice long nap. After the nap, Robin and I got ready for our date tonight at Up the Creek restaurant. Adam was left at a coworker of Robin's, Jodi, who had a house full of children tonight anyway. We ended up buying a cheaper model of the bike Robin test drove this morning so now we can go for family bike rides with Adam in the little Burley cart. The most exciting thing for Robin was that she got a "really cute" helmet that happens to match her bike. If anyone sees the following bikes riding around Fargo along with a Burley cart with a bright orange flag, it's probably us, so feel free to honk and wave.
