Race for Pediatric Cancer

We found out about a fun race through our Family Meetup Group and decided to try it out. The kids ran in the Fun Run that was 1/2 mile long. We had to shut down excuse after excuse the morning of the race because the kids were not excited about running, but I think they each really had fun. There were lots of other kids and goodie bags and snacks afterwards. Hopefully they will want to do more!
Riley sat this one out and got to take pictures of us instead. I ran it with our good friends, the Willardsons. Here are Christina and me after the 8K race. We did so well and had so much fun that we signed up for another race next month. She let me train with her a couple times and she is fast and serious! Her husband, Darin, is hilarious and almost made me pee my pants before the race started. I'm still laughing at how he stretched!

I'm so glad you have pictures!! We were so bummed we couldn't go. I've never been a runner, but Brian does. Keep us posted when the next one is! I'll be the official 'Photographer/ Cheering Section'!

Good for you! I would have never made it. How fun that the kids were involved. Just curious about your meetup group. How did it get started?

Brook, in this picture of you with the kids, you look JUST like each of them. If we shrunk down your body you would look like you were their sister.
