Ok, so the ladies with strollers finished ahead of me. The old guys did, too. And yeah, so did the children. Ok, and even a walker beat me, lol. But alas, I didn't finish completely last, but pretty close...with head held high and smiling the whole way because I ran my race.
Can't thank my dh enough for coming out with the kiddos and entertaining them for the 40-ish minutes I was away from them. He deserves a medal, because these kids were bored silly. So here are some pix, thanks to dh for taking them, too.
DS #1, I think he actually stole that balloon from someone, but we won't talk about that....
DS #2, wanted to run around, not sit in a stroller for a half hour! Balloon kept him busy for a few minutes, anyway.
Me, coming into the finish--I'm running, do you see that? Yeah, not many people behind me.
I finished! Woo hoo!!
Thanks for looking! And btw, if you have a moment, head on over to MNFirefly's blog--she is training for PF Chang's R&R Marathon in AZ and fundraising for Team in Training having had Leukemia affect her family and loved ones. Looks like a good cause, support a fellow running blogger with a donation if you can, and/or certainly by sending some supportive vibes her way!
