Brad and seven of his friends formed two teams for the 10th Annual Jacob's Buddies Golf Tournament on Saturday morning. This golf tournament was started by the grandparents of a boy named Jacob. He has Down syndrome, and the golf tournament is a fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Oklahoma. Brad won "longest drive", and his prize was a new putter. A couple of our friends won raffle prizes, too!

We met some friends for dinner on Saturday evening. Everyone was decked out in Thunder gear for Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzles.
I woke up at 4:45 Sunday morning to prep for my half marathon. Brad got up around 5:20, and we tried to move Caleb from his bed to his car seat without waking them, but that didn't work so well. They dropped me off downtown at about 6:00, and they went to park near the 3 mile mark on the course. Some storms were moving into OKC, so the start time got pushed back from 6:30 to 7:00... and then 7:15... and then 8:00... and then we finally got started at 8:20. I felt great for most of the run and was on pace for a sub-2:15, but the last three miles absolutely killed me! I ended up finishing at 2:19:30. 4:30 behind my goal time. Oh well. I did improve on my time from my first half marathon last fall, so I'm glad about that. I'm definitely a faster runner than I was just a few months ago, so hopefully I'll continue to improve... and maybe I'll finally beat 2:15 whenever I run my next half marathon.
Per the surgeon's instructions, I removed Caleb's bandage Sunday afternoon. He still has several scabs and stitches, but his fingers are looking great!
