Race Day!

 This morning we woke up bright and early to drive into DC and have the big race!  I was very excited to wear my race shirt and my number.  It was however kinda boring waiting with Daddy for the adults to finish and let me do my kids race. 

Here we are before the big race - Nana walked 3 miles, I ran/walked 1 mile and Mommy ran 6 miles.

Sweaty and Stinky mommy - it started to get pretty hot towards the end

We all did great!  Mommy finished in 56:34 (17th of 98 in her division).  Nana finished in 51:36 (5th of 11 in her division).  My race was not officially timed, but mom's watch said I did my mile in 20:30.  We all got medals, water and bananas after we finished.    I wasn't sure what to expect with my kids run - but I did great.  I sprinted out the first 50 yards and then I saw I had a long way to go and alternated walking with occasional bursts of runs or splashing in puddles.  I never asked to be carried and finished strong with a dash into the finish line to collect my medal.
