First race
We happened to see the Annual Grizzly Run advertised a couple of weeks ago, and when I asked Brie if she wanted to do it she quickly snatched up sign-ups sheets for us and her friend Taylor. We got ourselves all signed up for the 5K race, as did Taylor and her family. Here we are pre-race (me, Brie, Nate, Taylor, Angie).
The girls getting ready near the starting line! They were excited! : )
The race started at the high school and then headed up Marshall Road. And I do mean up. The first half of the race was all uphill!! Once we got halfway and turned around though, we knew it was all downhill from there! That made it a little easier to finish!!! : ) Here are the girls coming across the finish line.
And then 2 minutes later the moms came across the line!!
There was a 5K course and a 10K course. Afterwards there were drawings and the awards were given out. Here we all are waiting for it to start.
And this is Brie receiving her first place ribbon. Her and Taylor were the first ones to cross the finish line in their age group (10 and under). There were only a handful of people for each group, but she was very excited!!!! They did a great job! She's already planning for the next one!!!
And the guy who took home the trophy for coming in first?? He was in the 70+ age group. He smoked everybody!!!! Guess you're never too old to get out there and get moving!!Posted in: on Sunday, October 18, 2009 at at 6:29 PM
