Brooklyn ran her first 1 mile kids run on Monday! She did so great! I'm glad she likes to run, maybe I'll have a running budding when she gets older.
Me and Rich took Brooklyn out for a few practice runs the week before the race, she took it very seriously. She even ran on my treadmill once, she has her own playlist on my ipod with her favorite tunes. She runs to The Little Mermaid music.
I love this picture of Brooklyn with her braids flying through the air.
Weston meeting me at the finish line to give me a hug.
Rich took this picture of me during the last couple miles of the race. It was a really pretty run, we ran on trail that was surrounded by farmland. I met this girl the last hour of the race. I can't remember her name, but we talked for a while. Talking to her distracted me from how bad my inner-thighs were hurting. I've worn this running skirt at home when I do small runs, it's never bothered me. But I've never worn it for 13 miles, big mistake!!! My inner-thighs were bleeding and completely raw during the last 5 miles. I was secretly hoping that a pushy runner would come knock me down and injure me so I could stop running, or maybe a dog or snake would jump out and and bite me! I was seriously thinking those things, so I would be forced to stop the race. Anyways... I did finally make it the finish line and my family was there waiting for me. That was the best part.
Brooklyn was so excited to get a medal!
On our way home... long morning for all of us. We woke up at 4:00 in the morning so we could be out of the house by 4:45.Rich took a little video of Brookyn's race, he was pushing the boys in the jogger stroller.
