It was windy and cold, but we had a lot of fun. Carter was camping with the scouts so he missed out on the free T-shirts and refreshments at the end of the race. There were many drawings and giveaways. Alice received a $10 Subway card. Woo hoo! There were several youth and friends from our Ward who participated as well.
Chloe was mom's pace setter and she has a pretty fast jogging pace. We finished in 40 minutes and cheered everyone on as they neared the finish line.
Josie started the race with a sprint ahead of everyone and eventually her great companion, Shaylee Knowlton, caught up to her. Shaylee was sweet to carry Josie at times when her "sprinting legs" wore out.
Daddy was not feeling well, but with Mason as his Motivational Coach, they were able to move right along and sprint to the finish.
Memaw also joined the fun and walked along with Melani Knowlton. We really enjoy spending time as a family exercising and we missed Carter for this little adventure.
