Aaron and I woke Abe and Breanne up early to run their first 5K. My sister, Jen as well as Allie and James came to the race as well. Aaron barefooted it next to Abe (6) who did a fabulous job pacing himself and breathing through a sideache. Allie and I ran next to Breanne (5) who jogged pretty well for a while until about half way through the race when we were approaching my sister-in-law, Ashley's house and I asked Bre if she wanted to grab her bike for the second half of the race. She did, of course and swiftly flew off to the finish line while Allie and I ran the rest of the way in. Abe pushed on through and finished in 34:30 for his first 5K! I guess we'll have to try another day to pace Breanne through an entire 5K, but she sure had fun in her first unofficial duathalon! It was nice seeing Allie and James...oh and James won the race, of course. ;) Later that day....Aaron and I couldn't resist running the Elephant Rock trail in Mueller Park. Its the trail where my brothers used to take me mountain biking all the time when I was younger. And I hiked it many times with my family as I was growing up too. Beautiful! |
