After many running sessions, the day finally came. Our 5K at WellsFest~ was Saturday and it was alot of fun. Sharea, Jennifer, and I ran in the 5K and the kids did the One Mile Fun Run. Trey ran too (after working in the ER all night, in a time of 27:??~ wow!) My running time was 33:56 (I was very excited, my goal was 35:00). Sharea and Jennifer did great too. The MOST exciting was watching the kids run. When the gun went off~ Jett wouldn't go, Casey practically drug her to get her going :) SK started CRYING! I guess the gun startled her. But once they got going it was great! Sara Kennedy actually came in THIRD place in her age group (5 and under) with a time of 13:34 AND she won a $25 gift cert. to Fleet Feet as a door prize. She was so excited. We left before the awards ceremony was over~ we thought they were finished with her age group. So, the whole way home she kept saying she wanted to win, we had the "you can't always win talk" and she was actually ok. Then, my cell rings and Rebecca told me SK won 3rd in her age group. Rebecca was sweet enough to retrieve her trophy and get it to us. When I told SK, she almost came out of her booster seat. The rest of the way home, she would say, "Who is proud of me? Raise your hand!" And we'd all raise our hands. Cooper even got in on the action of the fun run, he didn't want to stay in the stroller when he saw all of the kids running, so I let him out. And he literally ran almost the whole way~ . If there would have been a category for Speed Walkers 2 and under, I know he would have brought home the gold!
