A Day in Twenty Dollar Bills

First $20-A few weeks ago I asked B to she wanted to run a 5K with me. I've never run in any sort of race and had been fascinated by the idea of running a 5K road race. So after paying our small $20 entry fee and getting our "official" 5K shirts we lined up with the 1,000+ people at the start line in Somerville and started our race. Neither B nor I had really trained for this small run so we were both pleasantly surprised at our time. With only one quick stop to tie a untied shoe lace, we finished with a decent time of 34:00 min. Some might say this is slow but we were impressed with ourselves so don't harsh our mellow. Turns out B is a pretty good pacer with myself and we had a good time. Steve met us at the finish line with coffee.

Second $+20-My cousin's family was in town and staying at B's house so after our race I went home and showered and then headed over to hang out with the extended family. Kids are so funny and full of energy. We amused them for a short while by taking a Boston duck tour. The kids weren't really into learning fun facts about Boston but they were into having the duck go into the water.

Third $20-A ticket to the Mason Jennings concert. Mason Jennings is one of my favorite artists and his songs are so beautiful. It wasn't the best performance of his I've seen but it was still pretty good.

Yesterday was so much fun and a beautiful day. I loved it.
