After building the anticipation all week for Ellie's participation in her first
kids "fun run" this past Saturday, the whole thing fell spectacularly
apart. We're not quite sure what happened. Ellie was very excited as she
lined up at the start line with Brian (while I parked down the road
with Katie to get pics)... but by the time the starting horn sounded
Ellie burst into tears and decided not to run. We couldn't get an
explanation, but I'm guessing she was either overtired at that point or
the horn scared her. I couldn't help taking a couple pictures anyway
because who among us hasn't felt like crying during exercise time,
right?
At least we got a decent family shot before the race :) Brian was plenty sweaty because he ran 6 miles before start time (to squeeze in his weekend distance despite our busy schedule)... and then he pushed the stroller while I ran near the front of the pack and got a new PR! Beat my last 5K time by about 90 seconds. Woo-hoo!
