Its Friday. Quad Cities Marathon is on Sunday. Drove down to Seattle last night. We arrived at about 930 PM. Minor glitches at the hotel with our airport parking deal but after a short trip to Jack in the Box and a double cheeseburger later the hotel staff had it all sorted out. In bed by 11PM and awake at 530AM.
Our flight left Seattle at 830AM. We had the cutest kid sitting in front of us. He was about 10 months old and when he saw us he climbed over the chair and was smiling and laughing. I told his dad "you have the cutest kid ever!" His dad replied "let's see how cute you think he is once the flight is over." He wasn't kidding! That cute kid turned into screaming child for over an hour. It was strange because he would be laughing for about five minutes then start screaming again then be laughing again. Made for a long flight.
So our flight arrived at 230PM at Chicago O'Hare Airport. Our connecting flight to Moline started boarding at 235PM. It was fun to sprint from one terminal to the other while clutching my 20 pound computer bag like an idiot. And it also felt really good, just what I needed to be confident that even though I haven't run hard in a week, my legs know what to do when called upon. We sprinted and made our flight on time but apparently our bags didn't. But the nice folks at the American Airlines ticket desk were expecting us and assured us our bags would be on the next flight in...9PM.
So we were stuck with no clean clothes to shower and change into.
We spent the evening with my brother and sister in law at a "Light Up The Night" walk for the cure. It was alot of fun to sit and joke around with my family, listen to some live music and feel like a local.
Anyway, we picked up our bags at 9PM and now its time to get some hydration and sleep.
