Saturday was our annual Turkey Trot run. What a fun morning we had. The weather was COLD but it wasn't raining, so hey we can't complain! Here is the group ready to RUN.
Julia and Natalie ran in the 1K. Mitch ran with Natalie as a warm up for his race so Lucy and I got to enjoy the race!
There were 337 kids signed up for the 1K, Julia came in 6th!! I was actually shocked. She didn't start in the front of the pack but really made up some ground. I think the only girl that was in front of her was a girl that looked about 11 or 12 years old. Lucy, Cam and I were watching for the runners about 3/4 of the way through the race and when I saw the kids in front I couldn't believe that Julia was up there. She did AWESOME! She looked just like a leaping gazelle. Seriously, so cute. Natalie might be one of my favorite runners of all time. She runs with the most determined look on her face, she is a powerhouse.
The Stats: 545 runners in the 5k, 262 of them were males.
Cameron:
Division: Male 9-11 years old
1st place in his age division! (out of 39)

All runners ahead of him were at least 14 years old.

2nd place trophy
Mitch hurt his calf with the last 400 meters to go and was really disappointed. Although Mitch beat Cam in time Cameron actually pasted Mitch to the finish line. He was so excited to beat his dad. I have a feeling this won't be the last time!
