… was the annual 5K race. Which my daughter decided she was going to run. Despite never having run 1K. In fact, the only way she had ever done more than 1K was on the back of a horse or a bicycle. But she wanted to do it. This picture was right up our block, just past the 2-mile point. 
The man behind her is in the volunteer fire department with my husband. He is such a nice guy. And one mile later … success! Here she is just about to cross the finish line.
She finished in 40 minutes. Not too bad for a first try with no practice at all. She was sweaty, red, and sooo tired. And she still wants to do it again next year. My baby is so fierce!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Best,
Stephanie
WELL DONE DAUGHTER!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!
PS. Your town looks lovely too!
That is great that she is interested in such a nice thing. Besides it is good exercise. Most young folks use their energy in the wrong way. Best wishes to her and keep running.
