Finaghty's St. Patty's Day Run

 
Our family participated in our annual St. Patrick's Day run.  The weather this year was just about perfect.  No RAIN and not too cold for a March morning. 

 
Julia and Natalie participated in the 1k.  Julia said "no way" to the 5k it is too long and cold. 


 
There were 173 runners in the1k.  Julia came in 2nd and Natalie 14th.  The picture below was at the very end of the race.  Julia almost caught the boy in first and I dare say that if she had been in the very front at the start line she would have had him!  Natalie really surprised me when came through the finish line, I wasn't expecting to see her so soon.  She is becoming quite the competitor!


 
Cameron ran in the 5k.  There were 401 participants in the 5k.  Cameron came in 21st overall and ran a 21:05 (6:48 per mile).  He got first in his age division, got a trophy and a gift card to Jamba Juice.  He definitely has the drive and guts to be an awesome distance runner! 


Cameron got orange running shorts for Christmas and because it is almost impossible to find BOY running shorts these ones are a bit big.  With the Orange shorts, yellow and blue shirts and black socks pulled almost to his knees I would have to say his style come from his FATHER!


 
The last stop on our traditional races is to Krispy Kreme.  Where we eat more calories than we can possibly burn!
