The kids race was great fun and all the kids received trophies for their accomplishments. I love instilling a love for exercise and a desire to keep our bodies healthy at such a young age. They have seen mommy and daddy participate in races and now they get a chance.
On to the adult race. Ouch. I had not run in over two months because of having bronchitis. I thought it wouldn’t be difficult to jump back in though. It was only three miles after all. Boy, did I think wrong. I started out a little too fast and paid for it quickly. If it weren’t for our children cheering for us on the sidelines, I would have stopped at a mile and half. Their cheers and the beautiful scenery pushed me on and I finished.
James had a great race and finished fourth in his age group!
After the race, we enjoyed a fabulous dinner and home brew. The kids had fun in the photo booth. During the awards presentation, we celebrated two top finishers at our table: James and Jamey!
Can’t wait to do more of these races next year.
