St. Patty's Run


Our family's traditional St. Patrick's Day fun run was on Saturday.  It was a rainy, rainy day but we had a good time and came prepared.  This was Lucy's first official race.  She and Natalie ran the 1k and they were so cute at the starting line!  There were 149 1k runners and Natalie came in 7th (the 2nd girl to cross the finish line).  Lucy and Dad ran together and Lucy ran the entire thing without stopping. 





Lucy was very excited about her medal and kept saying "My medal, my medal!"


 Cameron and Julia ran the 5k

Here's the stats:
Cameron:  1st in his age group (age 10-11 year old boys), 12th overall out of 358 runners, time of 20:53 (6:44 a mile)

Julia: 2nd in her age group (age 8-9 year old girls),  115th out of 358 runners, time of 28:49 (9:18 a mile, with walking in the middle... you know.... it is a long race!)



All the hardware and  a change of clothes!

 


Here is the beginning and ending of the 1k.  You might want to turn off the speakers on your computer because my cheering may have you wanting to cut off your ears.
