Mini Marathon

A new part of the local marathon was the Mini Marathon for kids the night before.  I signed the kids up for it a few weeks before and explained it too them.  They were way more excited about it than I thought they would be.  I had to map out a mile for them to practice running everyday to get ready for the race.  Half way through the first day of the practice run Mason decided he was done, but Rylie ran it everyday for 2 weeks. 
Jacob had been gone for 2 1/2 weeks and just happened to make it home in time to meet us at the race.  The kids were so excited he could watch them.
Mason did the half mile-he is the third boy from the front with gray shorts on.
Tirzah even ran the 40 meter dash.
All the kids were given these very nice shirts for participating.
Rylie is right in the center with pink shorts and bright yellow shoes.  She is doing the mile.



She made it!!
