This morning I ran a 5k with my friend and the kids ran their first fun run at Raccoon River. It was called Have a Heart, and it benefited children's cancer. They both had a lot of fun and did a great job!
Kate with her BFF Mia before the race.
Pre-run climbing to loosen the legs.
And warming up with scarf dances.
Mia, Zoe, Kate & Andrew....the fabulous four!
Pre-race huddle and motivational cheer.
And they're off! Five & under went first and ran a quarter of a mile.
Andrew went for the run/walk method and had a strong finish!
A hug from big sister when he was done.
His first medal!
Kate was up next. Her race was 1/2 a mile!
Cheering on big sister!
Kate also used the run/walk strategy.
And should have received an award for the happiest finisher. ;)
So proud of these two!
A post race refuel of chocolate milk and a granola bar and then a cool down in the lake. Here's to hoping this was the first of many races!
