The girls were very excited last night, choosing what they would wear, and figuring out what time they needed to get up so they would be ready to go on time. We were all up and ready and out the door and to the race a few minutes before they 9AM start time. That in itself is a major accomplishment for us! We planned to run as a group, but that idea fell apart about 10 feet past the start line. Jimmy ran with the girls and I pushed Ali in the jog stroller. We had planned the opposite. Running is hard enough for me as it is, so pushing the stroller was NOT my idea of a nice, easy run, but it was still enjoyable. The girls and Jimmy were off and out of sight! They finished in 40 minutes, and would have shaved a few minutes off their time, but each of the girls, at different times, took a tumble during the run, and Emmalena had to stop and tie her shoes. Those girls can run! They get that from Jimmy. Ali and I showed up a few minutes after the girls. Jimmy and I really wanted a family picture when we were all done with the race, but I guess the girls were tired out and had low blood sugar or something, because the girls totally TURDED out and refused to cooperate. So, these are all the pictures we got of our momentous day.
Lesson learned? Bring our own juice or power bars to give the girls so they aren't totally wiped out when the run is over.
No reason you can't look good when you run!
Like Ali's backside?
Not feeling so glamourous now. Ouch!
Maybe she will be nice if we put some food in her...
