Miscellaneous pics

Here are some pictures that have been taken over the last month or so - but just not posted. We have had a lot of rain in Southern CA during this winter, and the hills and mountain are beautiful and green again! Here is a picture that Clark took when going for a MTB ride in the hills of Loma Linda - all green with snow on the mountains!
One morning we took this photo on Mission Road while going for a walk...pretty and green - just a shame this wont last especially when summer starts!!!
Clark has done 2 half marathons in February - both with our friends Jacques & Natasa who got him into running again. Here they are posing at 6am just before they left to do the Huntington Beach 1/2 marathon - it was a cold and blustery morning by the beach, certainly not the best weather to do go and do some running, but fun none the less. Clark's time for his first 1/2 marathon was 1:48:00. He was pretty chuffed with an average 8:15/mile, especially since his initial goal was to run 2hrs.
And here he is running the Palm Springs 1/2 marathon 2 weeks later - much more suitable weather for running...but then what else would you expect with it being in the desert! Race started at 7:30am, and this time Clark ran 8:00 flat per mile with a finish time of 1:45:04 - bettering his previous time by 3 minutes over a more challenging course...Jacques finished this course in a good time of 1:32:00 - that's 7 minutes per mile over 13.1miles!
And here is a photo with Clark and the pharmacy staff at Rite Aid. Managing a bunch of women can be challenging!

By popular demand...:)



Hey all! well, most of you have probably heard by now that Sara managed to break her foot in two places (not sure where yet - seeing the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow) and has had a temporary cast on since last Thursday - by now it looks like something resembling a mummy from a tomb!!! and she's managed to get it soaked twice in the shower when you're not supposed to get it wet at all!!!! thought the silver lining to this experience would be getting to find out what all the fuss is about over Vicadin:) turns out Sara is quite allergic to the pain meds - they make her horribly sick and so has been suffering in unalleviated pain for quite a few days now:( We're hoping the doc won't want to do surgery since next week is Finals week for Sara and she needs to be at school to finish up the quarter but we'll just have to take it as it comes. Our friends and family have been so wonderful with offering help and sending us messages of love and encouragement - we feel so very blessed:) Okay - enough jabbering - so first pic is of how swollen my foot is in comparison to the unaffected one and the second pic is a glimpse of my bruises and swelling through a gap in the bandages - enjoy (these pictures ARE posted by popular demand!)
